they usually run pretty high cost. i don''t know what mods you have, but if you''re stock don''t get one yet, it''ll hurt more than it''ll help.

thats one of the nicest front mounts on ebay, i would actually get that one the quality looks good and i know someone who has it and they are very happy with it. the only thing though is that that one that you linked is the smaller core version i would get the bigger one.

i think the fogs need to be removed and you may need to relocate the power steering cooling line if your car has one. I believe the earlier 2g''s are the ones that have it. Its a solid metal line that loops behind the bumper.

right on the money.
and my friend never had fogs because he converted it from 2ga to 2gb and never got the fogs

That''s an ETS (extreme turbo systems) FMIC. I have one and so do many folks. You''ll be fine with that ... after you get a larger turbo and not before.

That eBay intercooler is the ONLY one I would buy.

It seems that they have added a bunch of optional things since I bought mine.
They are growing

An aftermarket SMIC or FMIC is used to improve cooling ability. That in itself improves performance because of the cooler charge.

SMIC hard piping will also increase throttle and boost response, and also reduce pressure drop in the system.
