and that would matter how? the FMIC is bombarded with cool air anyway....and the cast would take longer to heat up than the aluminum.

Of course there's the issue of headlamp aliens not working with the APR setup. I was all juiced to go that route because Chris was going to hook me up on a good price for one, but when I heard it wouldn't work with the headlamp washers I was all bummed out.

this is true, but the cast process beefs up the aluminum. feel an intake manifold that is all aluminum(not just a cast piece that is polished)and then a cast manifold. The cast piece will not feel as hot. and when i say "better than that aluminum stuff" i mean the cheap looking polish they put on it. too shiny for me.

That can easly be fixed in a few minutes and some paint or elbow grease (whatever floats your banana)

who wants to paint their FMIC? and the point is that APR's FMIC is better and cheaper....i would've of got the forge if it was the price of Tcarbons...but then i prolly would have to go back to APR for when i go big turbo to maximize the cooling.
