I'm in the same boat. Not a big fan of Buscher parts as the quality is definitely not up to the level of others out there. I would PM turbo26tsi as he has some interesting options.

Im pretty sure most the big names out there get the same/close results, So Bushur, AMS, Perrin, ARC or what ever brands ***** your swinging from you probly can't go wrong. Just some of them pay more attention to little details, quality welds, etc. that I would want on a 35k plus car! but thats just me being picky

The quality of our FMIC's cannot be beat. There is NO better FMIC for the EVO8-9 or X you can buy. We've made sure of that.
We have the largest core available for the EVOX to make sure the unit does it's job of cooling and providing low pressure drop. The quickest/fastest EVOX in the world right now runs our FMIC on it, Big Valley's.

Buschur's has the largest core @ 4.5". Good to 1000whp.
AMS's products are top notch as well and you can buy their prototype for $600 right now! https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=364855
Lower Pipe gives no gains from what I have heard. So its only an appearance mod.

I have to heavily disagree on this one. its about 3" thick and I doubt it could perform anywhere near the way buschur's core does.

It was probably my post that you read, as we do have a 5" EVO X intercooler 
Another point to note is that not only do we have the most options but our core is also 20" wide where some others use an 18" wide core. All of the airflow to the radiator goes through the IC opening, thus a wider core will allow for not only more airflow to the radiator, but also larger frontal surface area.
We offer our EVO X intercooler in 3", 3.5", 4" and 5" thicknesses priced at $499, $599, $699 and $799 respectively. Everything up to and including the 4" fits behind the bumper beam with ZERO mods to the car! The LICP is $259 alone or can be combined with an intercooler or intercooler and UICP to make a complete kit for additional discount.
You will get similar performance results from all of the reputable brand intercoolers, so build quality, fitment, price and service are IMO the biggest factors to consider. We feel we are at the top of the market in each of those categories and I welcome the opportunity to prove it
Some pictures for reference

And just the LICP:
Feel free to get a hold of me with any questions!
