Ams, Buscher and CBRD Fmic's
All these intercoolers all have garret cores, am I correct?
I know these are not all the same now.. and i know i spelled Buschur wrong

I've used the buschur street fmic and it worked great. Thought I was getting rid of my car at one point and sold all my aftermarket parts. When I decided to keep it I bought the ETS anodized black 3.5" intercooler as they were have a special intro pricing and I snagged one of those up next and I love it too. I recommend Buschur or ETS as I've used both. The Buschur unit was on my car when I ran the 1/4 mile times below....

For the money the core is good and will support decent HP. I built a setup for a buddy that used the 24x12.3.5 Garrett core on his street driven 2JZ powered 240Z and it made some good hp.

How do you know it flows more than everyone elses race core. Have you tested this? Are you referring to flow as in moving air or cooling capacity? Each type of core has its downfall, so it depends on application.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? I am stuck on the edge now that I have been doing more reseach.
CBRD 3.8" = $850
AMS 3.5" = $729.99
ETS 3.5" = $599.99
That is a quite of a big difference in price between the three. I am stuck on which one would be the best bang for the buck.

ETS makes an excellent product for the price. I had a 3" and loved it. Another member on the board here has it now and I'm sure it still perfect. If you're trying to get the best bang for your buck, I would definitely suggest ETS. I have a Buschur Race core now and love that.

Nothing insane as of right now.. I do want one that will hold up to at least 500hp. That does not mean I am going to have that kind of hp, I just would like to know that I can go that high without problems.

AMS uses FCP cores I believe, which are awesome cores.... we are using them for our evo X fmic,
but we do use the garrett (as does david).... ours fits without cutting, and undertray still fits without modification as does the bumper beam.
I love the garrett cores, but the selection is limited!!
