^^ well put

 

+1 buschur street. Great product!

 

Okay, I think we got enough opinions and as I stated earlier I didn't intend this to be a pissing match. I apologize to Ets and Bushur for any aggravation this caused. It seems you guys both offer a good product. Cheers!

 

"Buschur Racing is a great company too, the staff is nice, the service is 2nd to none and they treat customers with respect and dignity."

Fixed it for you.

 

I heart dave

 

threads that have a subject of "x vs. x" should be closed with no questions asked. the original poster is at fault for not using this sites search feature and dedicating some time to search for results.

 

I did and the last comparison did not have Buschurs latest street fmic. I also was told by another vendor that the ETS 3.5'' garret core had a different fin design. This is what these forums are for so if you don't have any input stay out of my thread this isn't a pointless thread...

 

You couldn't just pick up the phone and call ETS directly? I'm sure they be more then happy to answer you questions.

In the end, It's you decision so don't believe what others tell you and do you own research. I would just flip a coin and pick either or, they are both great intercoolers but I personally use Buschur products because they have been proven to work in the drag strip which is what I use my EVO for. Good luck!

 

How about just buying the one you get the better deal on since they are both good. I'll recommend ETS because I have ETS and love it. But buschur is good too. So since they are both in the same league, just get the one you get the best price on

 

I should be ordering my ETS core next month. I am just doing the 3 inch core. Is it worth just doing the 3 inch or should i go 3.5. I wont be upgrading my turbo for a while, and my mod process is going very very very slow. I think I will be straight with just the 3 inch. Any suggestions?

 

I'd do the 3.5. It goes in perfect no trimming required

 

3" is fine for a lightly modded stock turbo car, if you plan to upgrade to a larger turbo or attempt to max out your stock turbo them the 3.5" is the way to go.

 

I love Dave's response...that is classic

 

Bushur and ETS I bottom line are companies that put their name and reputation on thier product both intercooler's can handle monster power are well built with great material and engineering. Both If asked whyis ets better or why is Bushur better will both have valid reasons to prove the claim. If they did feel the competiton was better they would impove their product accordingly. Neither company makes a ebay special. Ithink you will be happy with either part. However to me baing a Ohio boy I gotta give dave the nod I mean just how much he knows and what other people say about how great their stuff is and how insaneley reliable their stuff is. To me Bushur power every day high power and reliability

 

thanks for the insight. yeah i plan on running the stock turbo for a while. So i will probably do the 3inch ets core. Maybe later on down the road when I upgrade the turbo, ill do a larger intercooler at the same time. But that wont be until i come back from afghanistan or so.
