man this is a heated debate. some say its great and others say they wont touch it with a 10 foot post. i would stay away from it. test have shown its not a good idea to go cheep on a fmic. the difference between a good and bad fmic could be sometimes 20 whp. now im not saying that is a good or bad fmic becuase i know nothing about that brand but usually you get what you pay for

some people on vortex have got the pipes from that kit and have added there own intercooler. Also im sure jeff has seen it, on evolutionm.net, they have a debate on the xspower ic kits also. Many have claimed that those kits are still far better than the stock core.
