front mount

I was trying to order a fmic from evolution motorsports, but they told me there is a 6-8 week wait. I definitly cant wait that long and kind of had my mind set on that one. Anyone have any suggestions that will handle my setup and future setups i will have? Im thinking APR, but I'm not too big on the same side piping. I'd like to spend similar to the evoms. Thanks

why not just go for a ebay FMIC, its cheaper and good for what you got now, then when your ready to go bigger all you have to do is swap the IC core and viola all the IC hoses are already there.

evolution racewerks comp
racetec dominator
forge
garrett

for those ebay fmic, will they fit in the stock bumper?

nothing is going to fit behind the stock bumper w/out a little bit of trimming. try and get one thats like 2" thick if u can. any more than that and your gona be cutting the bumper reinforcement

where do you get a racetec from? Also, is the apr as good as they claim to be?

dont know where to get the dominator from tho, i just heard about that one recently. Mike@DTH might be able to get it for you, he sells the same one as the link above for 50 more.

apr's is good, it uses vertical rows instead of horizontal so it can fit more, and thats supposed to help more with cooling. and the endtanks are well designed, but the other ones i listed are just as good or better.

The racetech intercooler is also on backorder for several weeks  Im waiting to get that one myself from supremepowerparts

you could pay 50 extra and get it from Mike. DTH sells them on their website

Mike is actually a very good source for the Racetec FMIC. I bought mine through him and he actually knows the owner of Racetec very well.

Here is a picture of it mounted behind my Reiger bumper. I used to have a GReddy fmic and this one actually fit a lot better behind my bumper. To fit my GReddy, I had to break off a few tabs on the rebar so that it would fit, but I do not think it would have been necessary on the Racetec. There are two different brackets you can order as one is designed for a stock bumper and the other is designed for an aftermarket bumper.

I ended up talking to Mike and I decided on the ER Comp. The only problem is they use paypal and I am having a problem using my CC. I think its because my shipping and billing addresses are different... so annoying.

i have that same greddy intercooler you used to have. and i had to hack my bumper support quite a bit. didn't think i was going to have to with the s4 bumper

If you are running a stock bumper, that ER fmic is going to be a B***H to fit. The ER is 3" thick and I had to hack my rebar just to get the GReddy to fit and it was only 2 3/4" thick and I have a Reiger front bumper.
