Default She lives in the Philippines, so our help is limited at this point.

She posted before wondering where she could get a new IC, because the dealer there wanted an insane <i>$1500</i> for the replacement.

Default There are quite a few, and I think they will ship to you too...

ECS Tuning is a great OEM and aftermarket store that I use often. Another store recommended in these parts is Impexfap, a great forgien auto parts source, both used and new. Hopefuly someone will post more sites for you.
