Our (boyfriends nova) custom made spearco intercooler was 1400... and 1)we had to MAKE it fit... it wasnt pre-engineered and tested, 2)it didnt come with a set of really nice Samco hoses... we had to scour oil field suplly houses to find some rubber fittings

heres pics of his spearco (granted it is quite a large intercooler...)

So considering what you get, whats put into it, an where it comes from I consider it a deal!!

I'll buy one in a heartbeat (after I get the TT, rims, tires and exhaust that is )

speaking of exhaust... 1200 for a cat back? now THATS expensive!!! but who cares.. i'm gonna get one anyway

It doesnt look very big.. but looks can be decieving, especially when theres nothing to compare it to.

That lower grill... its different from stock? More... open I guess. Is that a modified stock one? or does someone market it?

Or maybe it is stock and I just never noticed before LOL

It's stock, the intercooler lines behind it throw off your eye. Look closely.

thanks jenner... I see it now

man that gave me a headache

on the 225hp with the twin intercoolers? I'm sure it will make some - but it will make a greater difference on 180's with larger turbo upgrades, hence my earlier comment. Interestingly enough - APR's Stage III uses the factory intercooler. Only when you go to the Stage III+ with the larger turbo to they even recommend going to a larger intercooler. In my discussions with Stephen, he indicated that the larger turbo and inconel manifold result in low enough temps that a larger intercooler isn't needed.

I think alot of people like the FMIC for the "cool" factor of this big *** intercooler being visible from the front. Personally, if I'm going to be upgrading my turbo etc. I want a system that is integrated to work together - which is why i'm leaning towards the APR Stage III.

I think that the factory bumper will restrict airflow. Any ideas?

It doesn't matter much. The new HX will give you more surface area to dissipate heat.
