Need FMIC selection advice

I'm looking to upgrade my stock VIII FMIC. I'm not necessarily looking for the "best" FMIC, bit I am looking for the "best value" in a FMIC.

Performance is obviously important, but I am not likely to ever be running anything larger than maybe an FPGreen, due to the ACN91 I'm stuck with. Of most importance to me is the fit. I'm running on the stock UICP and the Nisei LICP. I want a good intercooler that mates up well to my set-up that is budget priced.

Thanks...

Best Value without going to the Ebay Interccoler. I wish I would had taken my own advice.

ETS 3' FTW!!! the 3.5' you'll need to mod it, but the 3' is a direct bolt on part.

I think buschur or full race takes it for intercoolers seeing they both developed them differently to reduce piping length and the amount of bends. Plus Full Races is vertical flow. Everyone opinion is different though so take a look at a few. Price is also a issue to.
