Default 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.

racetec- http://supremepowerparts.com/applica...Intercooler_B5

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.

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.
