i wanted ams, but had a lot of problems getting one, not very customer oriented dealers, that ams uses, i am sure they are good, i ended up getting ets, and will post my review once i get it, still waiting on the items to arrive, but micheal at ets will answer any questions you will have and give you three options, versus just one, so you can pick the one best suites you.

so would you recommend the 4" core than? i don't plan to upgrade the turbo anytime soon
but eventually depending on how the fp blacks run, i may go that or red when all is said and done.
mod list within the next month or so will be:
tomei exhaust
hfc
ams or ets dp
upper and lower IC pipes
ams or ets IC
works or cosworth drop in (dont want to deal with cops)
and a tune

This might be a little off topic but could you post a pic of your IC in anodized blue finish I was trying to find one somewhere to no extent.

We have a few options to choose from depending on your power goals.
Here are the test results on a stock turbo with no tuning.
3.0" = 17whp over stock
3.5" = 20whp over stock
4.0" = 22whp over stock
* Please note this was with no tuning just bolting the intercooler on. The intercooler is designed to keep the temps down and the power and tune consistent. The core we use is the same core thats on our 9 sec shop evolution X. The core has been proven and the 4.0" is also a direct fit behind the bumper beam with no trimming and the stock under tray will also bolt back on
The core is designed for both the Street/Road Racer and the Drag Racer and allows good air flow to the radiator.
We have the core sepearte or in a complete kit.
Standard Finish
Anodized Black Finish (Gold, Red, Black and Blue Available)
Complete Kit: http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/p...duct_info.html
Intercooler Only: http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/p...duct_info.html
Here is a little video w/ our 9 sec pass

So I am assuming that with a tune it should be at least the same results?
I was just about to ask similar question but luckily I've found ths thread!
In my country everybody says that there is no point to change the IC for a DD.
And I mean everybody.
However I am in possesion of ETS 3.5" intercooler which originally was intented to go with FP Red.
I will stay with the stock turbo with BC 272, turbo-back, inlet, UICP.
Question: will ETS 3.5" IC definitely give me some extra power comparing to the stock IC?
I'd already decided to sell my 3,5" IC, however it is not too late yet - I am just torn between two different opinions (USA vs PL).

Jed, the aftermarket ICs definitely provide more power, but where they really shine is providing that effect for longer. For example, if you were tracking, your stock IC might be fine for the first 2 laps, but then it starts getting so hot and inefficient (also called heat soak) that you start loosing power. With the aftermarket ones, you not only get more power, the cooling affect runs longer due to a more efficient design and you run more laps without loosing power continuously. The downside, if any, will be added weight, but its so small its not even worth mentioning.
