Ok, I have decided to make some purchases for my car finally and i would like some feedback before i commit to buying. So far my car is 100% stock except a MBC and a boost gauge. These are the parts I have but are not installed: Ported Evo 3 02 housing, 2g manifold ported on the outlet to 7cm, i also have a dsmlink coming to me in the mail soon.

The parts that I am considering are: PLX M-250 w/gauge, Walbro 250lhp and the rewire kit, Aeromotive afpr and the install kit with underhood gauge, 660cc injectors, Dejontool Evo3 downpipe(EDP-1gB), dejontool straight pipe exhaust with extra muffler(EXH-1gB), and finally the M.H.I. Evo 3 16g. of corse i'd order all necessary gaskets and such.

Now that i read this i realize i'd probably have to buy a new clutch. I only trust ACT so i'd get the 2600 and keep the stock flywheel.

The car i have has a little over 190k miles the head was rebuilt recently by the previous owner, i was wondering about the stock bottom end but i think i'll be good because i know it can handle a fair amount of power.

My goals for this car are to have 300-350whp Reliably.

I was thinking about a FMIC but then I remembered that the stock unit was good up untill 400hp, so i'll probably just fab up some hard IC piping. If i find out that i'm having problems with the IC then i will move to a FMIC.

Umm...no. Who lied to you? Wanna buy an Evo8 FMIC? It's at least better than your stock sidemount. :)

damn, well i guess i'll have to buy a FMIC then, there pretty expensive so i was leaning away from it for now, but if i cant live without it i guess i'll have to.

400hp on a stock sidemount intercooler?

Definitly upgrade the intercooler setup and all of the piping around it, the stock setup will probably get you by for a while, but any continuous boosting will heat-soak that stock IC very quickly. I ran the stock sidemount (and I/C piping) on my 1G for about a month after I installed a 20g. I wasn't proud of it, as I needed to drive my car, but it got me by until I had a better intercooler setup. For a 16g-setup you'll probably be fine for a while, but don't leave it out of your plans.

Any one have experience with ebay intercooler kits? They look alright, cuz its just pipes not like they need to be anything special, the only thing i see that bothers me is that there are no beads on the pipes, but my friends dad might be abel to weld some on for me.

Even the cheap kit on SBR are like $750 and dejontool kit is not what i'm looking for.

where are some other places to buy fmic kits?
