Hey guys, I'm in the process of shopping around for a new fmic and was wondering about which is the best 'cooler to get. I've been looking at ordering a Trust one from Japan which sounds pretty good but I also saw Xspeed had HKS Type S kits for a reasonable price (if they have them in stock). Which would be the better choice? I was also considering a Hybrid kit as I've heard they are pretty good. But the Hybrid kit is a bar & plate design where as the Trust and the HKS ones are tube & fin (pretty sure). Is there much difference between these designs? Any thoughts guys?

hehe, i know what your on about Loz :P

I think though that Kym (strechnine) has devised a plan after his DIY install.

I will be checking out his handy work and see if i should attempt the master feat :( and if i find it easy enough... Loz, for your birthday...whenever that is... and with Paulies permission... i will do your piping as a gesture of good will :D

God bless,

Nate

I decided to go with the Trust/Greddy intercooler kit. Only gonna cost me $1264 for the kit itself, but that's not including the shipping from Japan which I reckon will be about 19500 Yen (roughly $247 maybe?) Good value!

"paaaaaaaaanch the caaaaaaaant!"

'Good value' as in excellent, not good value as in value for money. It's just one of my sayings, like mintox. Remember mintox? After I've put the 'cooler in I was going to look at tuning options. Would a S-afc be better, or should I go the whole hog and get a Power FC or similar setup as they would give me more tuning options. Any recommendations?

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down.

It's a country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
