Bushur street fmic vs. Ets Garret 3.5" core

Anybody have any experience with both of these or possible dyno sheet comparisons? They are both garret core designs but I also heard that the fin design is different on the Ets cores not sure though...

ETS uses their own cores but can build you a garret on request.

I run the ETS 3.5 on a 61mm and it does its job very very well

I am aware of that and those are the ones I am comparing. Both garret core designs.

I have heard good things regarding the ETS FMIC, however you have any data to support this?

Thanks.

I'd take the ETS 3.5" over the Buschur Street any day; easy choice with ETS' superior welded sheet metal end-tanks.

BR stuff is top notch, but we will not use any other intercooler setups on any car we build other than a ETS, we just got our shop cars 5 incher today and WOW, it looks like its made for a supra.

well they are both GREAT parts, and i wouldnt tell you NOT to get the buschur but wiht the holliday sales going on and the wider variety of options on the ETS to me it is a no brainer. Its all about what you want. If you would like to talk to me about ETS intercoolers we are having a ETS X-mas sale right now and you can PM me if you would like.

I didn't want to turn this into a who's best thread based on opinions there are plenty of them. Sorry to **** you all off. I asked if there were any hard data to show which is better on a dyno comparison. Another question I had was is if the 3.5" garret core from ets has a different fin design? Maybe since Ets is on this thread they can chime in... As far as prices are concerned Bushur sells this fmic for 650.00 which isn't a bad deal. You also do not have to use their licp either. I believe thats the same deal as ets's.
