Exactly. F*** Turbo XS. They don't support their products at all.

I have their entire Intercooler and piping kit. It is very nice for sure, but you will have to pay a bit for it. If you are trying to get a great deal on a quality kit with the UIP/mini battery combo, the best deal you will get is probably with ETS. I know they make some great stuff. I like AMS, so I paid the extra money to get their products. I would leave Turbo XS out of the equation solely because you are looking for more than an intercooler.

Turbo XS intercooler on my IX
perfect fitment even with the crash-bar and minor trimming of the undertray...
Best intercooler for the buck and performs excellent! on my various logs before and after the intercooler i noticed a 15-20 degree lower intake temps and the temp drops much faster than the stock unit...
I combined it with Nisei piping kit...
...which is currently heat wrapped...

if you'll sleep better knowing you have the ams fmic, then get it. the +100 bucks isnt worth the headache/worry.
however, i have the turbo xs fmic. it work good, no lag gain, boost hitds harder & the incoming charge into the engine is a lot cooer than my oem unit, measured/logged via aem. i really like the end tanks...
however the turbo xs inlet/outlet i.d. is ~2.250".............
search titles "turbo xs" & look for a thread written by me if you care for some decent data & power gain calculations.
