1G FMIC Kit Suggestions?

[sleepydsm]

I'd like to buy a 1G FMIC kit. Has to be short route piping, and I'm gonna need room for a GM Maf in Blow Through. I had a Buschur street kit on my last 1g, it wasn't bad but I'd like to get a little bigger/better this time. I was pretty set on the Extreme PSI Race kit, and was a little iffy on the Dejon Race kit. I just wanted to hear others opinions based on their own experiences. I'd ideally like something I won't have to upgrade later... someday going for 450 awhp

I had the Buschur Street-Kit with MAFT blow-thru and was very happy with it. You could upgrade to their race-core instead of the street-core if you really think its necessary for 450 hp (which I don't). As far as other brands of intercoolers kits I really can't make any recomendations, I can advise against certain companies but I won't do that in public. Stay away from the eBay kits and cores though, they are a real craps-shoot.

Get the Buschur race kit or the Diamond Star Motorsport one with short pipes. They're the 28x10.5x3 and 7/8 one. They work and are nice. Otherwise that ExtremePSI/SLS one works too and is pretty much identical w/ Garrett cores instead. Don't get a Dejon one unless it's a real good deal.

If you want bigger, FP makes a 26x12x4" one for like $7-800. :)

Buschur, Extreme PSI, Extreme Intercooler, SLS Fab, Kinetic, etc. Avoid anything and everything Dejon tool.

i got the Kinetic kit with SS piping for real cheap. Slowboy sells it as their race core kit. The core is pretty damn large though, and people have run 9s on it. :)

Except their intake pipes, they are simple and nice enough.

Except when they aren't even close to fitting. Or their BOV return is aimed back at the MAS.

The thing that sucks though is they use curved couplers. Very expensive to replace.... My one ripped by the alternator cause the fitment kinda sucks and was rubbing on the alternator.

Thats too bad. I've owned two and installed a few others (1G and 2G, steel and aluminum) and been very happy with each one. No fitment or quality issues at all.
