#2- I beat the fuggin crap out of my car for 143 miles today, and I noticed that just sitting like 12 minutes and then 15 minutes and then 45 minutes the coolant needle was not stuck on operating temp! IT WAS LOWER! witch is telling me that the car is getting cooler air. when it was stock it NEVER did that. OH my car has 15,000 miles so I dont need a thermostat.

Also If the engine is getting cooler air, wouldnt the engine cool down faster or not be as hot for as long? I dunno. just a question

The reason the coolant temp gauge is lower, is because you have no dam thermostat. Come on man lol. I bet your car takes a long time to get warm and idles high also, or it may not get warm at all. The reason I know, is my thermostat got stuck open(better than stuck close) and my car would idle high and never get warm and the needle would barely rise above cold. Changed it out for a new one and back to normal. On my civic I had the reverse happen. My thermostat was stuck close and the needle would rise higher than normal because the cool air in the radiator could not enter the motor. Sorry to burst your bubble, but no thermostat is not good because the motor never gets to the operating temp it needs for optimal performance.

says who?
all he is saying is buschur did a test with a ebay intercooler and one of thier intercoolers. i dont think it performed to good. of course its going to be better then the stock front mount on a stock motor...but what about when you NEED the air temps down? you should of just saved up and bought a perrin,ams or bushur. in the end your now spendin more money

LOOK im just giving my opinion on this stupid IC. My tuner said he would NOT recommend these ebay ic to anyone, but he did say that the ic did its job on the dynojet, and I also asked him - (is this better than the stock fmic) he said yes.

If I had an extra $1029 +tax + shipping I would have gotten the Buschur for sure, but I decided that the xspower for $132 shipped. It was best for my style of driving and application.

There are alot of good front mounts for under a grand. You may have gained some horsepower from your ebay ****, but you'd do alot better with a proven name brand. I'd still like to see the dyno chart. I'm curious to how much pressure drop there is on the xs-power pos too. But it all comes down to this, why would you put **** parts on a beautiful car? It's like putting Martha Stewart cloths on a super model.
And all of us do not agree that Buschur is the best. Since when did you start speaking for all of us? I'm not knocking Buschur one bit, I just wish you'd get off they're dicks already.

LOOK I payed $132 shipped for the xs power. I feel I got a great bang for my buck. Also if I decide to change my FMIC Im comfortable eating $132

I'm very sure it's better than the stock unit, but if I have to go thru the trouble of raplace the stock IC, I want the best. Oh yeah, your test is wack. Glad it worked out for you.

In fact, I cant remember the last time I read that someone actually bought and used this I/C and wasn't happy with it.
