Ets 3'' fmic?

hey guys i have been searching alot online lately about this. is anyone running this intercooler? how is heat soak with it? would the 3'' ets be sufficient for running a stock turbo or bbx stock frame without getting to much heat soak? any input is welcome .

Even with the stock turbo the 3.5" (and 4") has been dyno-proven by ETS to be a better choice. I really only recommend the 3" for guys who want to upgrade, but are on a tight budget.

If you wanted to know about a venders product, why don't you contact them on the forums and ask them questions?

Independent reviews and data are what makes internet forums useful. Although, the OP should have searched since this topic is covered nearly weekly

ive looked literally for weeks specifically about the 3'' ets fmic i even browsed other forums its not covered if you guys would link me to the reviews i would appreciate it because weeks of looking and all i find is tons of info on the 3.5 and 4 not the 3'' . i am on a tight budget thats why it looked good because ets has alot of great reviews i am just interested in why they choose to make a 3'' fmic as well as an option .

Basically as a budget-friendly option. It will show gains over the stock intercooler.

I have the 3 inch ets and i havent experienced any heat soak. Id be able to test it out more when it gets a lot hotter out.
