What are my cooling options other than a FMIC?

Unfortunately, I can't put out the $$ for a FMIC. I got this place that I'm living in that needs some attention. Stupid home...

Anyway, what are some more cost effective cooling options? I realize that "cost effective" probably also means "less effective," but it doesn't hurt to ask...

I'm still too lazy and haven't had time. Keep thinking about it though.

I wish, I've got all the parts together though.

I haven't gotten to much of my spring mod list yet and the car is going in for a little body work a week from Monday so.....damn I'm lazy.

maybe look for alternative, slightly more DIY FMIC solutions

there are lots of intercoolers out there that are more affordable than the Forge or APR stuff, but they will require some fitment work. The place I've been looking into is Treadstone Intercoolers. They're local, so I'm hoping to go talk to them about a FMIC or upgraded SMIC solution for the TT sometime.

just my 2 cents...<ul><li><a href="http://www.treadstoneintercoolers.com">http://www.treadstoneintercoolers.com</a</li></ul>
