there are several posts on here talking about how bad it is, etc, mostly by AMS fanbios......... AMS publically talked trash about it (because they copied ams)......... I have it on my car, fitment was excellent, looks great....... Flows more and has constantly lower intake temps (logged using an aem ems with 2 iat sensors)....... I recomend it...... For $200 u can get the FMIC, lower ic pipe + upper intercooler pipe & bov............ same items from ams is $1200...............

were your guys fitment issues bracket related? you have to modify the upper bracket by bending it in a vise till it is the correct angle, and the pass side bracket has to be bent to fit, then it is level and sits perfect

wow, i'm surprised so many people here have purchased products from those companies. maybe they've gotten better?
a year or so ago i was looking into purchasing a turbo and noticed they had very low prices. after doing research i found horror stories about their turbos splitting when the glue melted (they used glue to piece together the turbine housing).
interesting.

Theyre manifolds may be junk but do not underestimate theyre intercoolers. There is a 42 page topic on dsmtuners.com, as well as nasoic.com, and everyone loves them. There are plenty of 500+ awhp people running these fmic, and i am also a very satisfied owner of an xspower fmic
