ETS FMIC 5" or 7"...

So I know there is no trimming needed for the smaller unit what about the 7"?

How much more will my car benefit from the 7" over the 5" running Cobb 2+ 94 octane? Mods are in sig.

Any help is appreciated

For the stock turbos i cant see the 7" helping alot over the 5" in the IAT department, not enough to for me personally to justify the price and the more intensive install..

My ETS 5" has been able to handle everything my stock turbos can ditch out on a FBO car on US 93, meth, race gas, etc.

MHO, if your not looking to go for bigger turbos, the 5" is ideal.

The 5inch is sufficient for most people, but the 7inch is for those looking to have more capacity in eliminating heat soak. Hot climates, road course users, extended WOT, ETC
