Here is a little info to help make your decision. If you are getting the AA you might as well get the Big Tom FMIC, about the same and its a 1/3 of the price.

What he said. If you're leaning towards the AA, the Big Tom version is nearly identical, but a boat load cheaper and just takes a little ingenuity. Search Big Tom Intercooler and you should find all the info you need.

You never know if you get one of those Big Toms leaking , I like ETS 7 core that just came out STETT HPF HELIX and ofcourse AMS is one of the greatest , they're all same shit so w.e you like

techlogik · 01-05-2011, 11:24 AM

Here comes the usual suspects in the thread as expected, telling you to spend $800 on a FMIC....

And of courrse then Big Tom and I come with our opinion...

Search...depends on what you want.

The BigTom IC I got is very well built and tighter than a frog arse. There is absolutely no reason to panic and start worry it will fail more often than any other brand

onefastman · 01-05-2011, 12:17 PM

I would get ets

We made 400hp on 92 octane with pump gas and just over 420 torque using all our bolt ons and 6.0" intercooler (v5 Procede AutoTune). The 5" will support the stock turbo and requires no trimming

Thanks!

Here are the mods we have on the car

ETS Downpipes
ETS Charge Pipe w/ TiAL BOV
ETS DCI (2x Huge Filters)
ETS Dual 2.5" Exhaust System
