Nick, the price quoted for DTM's FMIC was as of the date of posting and obtained from DTM via PM at that time. Currently, many of the vendors have reduced their prices as well for end of year sales. While it is true, my November figures are not applicable now, they nonetheless provide a comparison of costs at that time.

Later, Ken

i have AMS it's great , but if your gonna be putting some serious power out later, go with the ARC..... Expensive but nice.

I like the Perrin core, may not be as thick as some of the other cores, but the idea behind it was to create more surface area thus giving better flow through the core and cooler air temps.

I'd think the AMS would be better for hi HP then the ARC, but thats just me guessing
+1 for the perrin!

no such a thing as a best. The best is what work with your set up.
You might get a biggest one and you still running on stock turbo...
Pick what you fit for your set up. And what you like.
Pay attention to the weight also.

I'm upgrading to the fpred, which FMIC would you suggest? I'm leaning AMS.

Mr. Evo IX MR

I strongly suggest the AMS intercooler. But If you like the HKS thats fine too. THey'll both turn out satisfying at the end.

I'm wondering how much the stock IC will limit me after I switch to the FR Red. Has anyone done any unbiased testing on this (even on an VIII)? Everyone seems to upgrade their FMIC first.

Of course I'm sure I'll upgrade eventually, but as I look outside and see it's 6 deg. F today, I find it hard to believe I would see much benefit until summer. That is unless the stock IC is such a restriction that temperature doesn't even matter.

actually its not, there is a lot to an intercooler, type of core, shape of end takes, what its made of, a good start would be an intercooler that has a GRIFFEN core, this company makes best cooling products including i/c and radiators for race cars, thats all they do.

+1. I'll be ordering the Perrin FMIC and TBE after the holidays. Too bad they haven't released any I/C piping as well.

I own the Perrin and I really like it. The craftsmanship is amazing. The surface area huge on the front of the car. YOu barely see any welds.

i like perrin too, im just wish it weighted less. i don't know the exact weight but i know it does not weight in the 19 to 20 lbs range
