I just installed a Wagner and the entire process took an hour. Factory connections are a real plus in my opinion. Couldn't have been easier to install and a perfect fit. Delivery from Germany was a few days and the packaging of the product was some of the best I have seen. No additional turbo lag that I could feel but the car pulls to 7000 now without falling on its face after 6200 or so. I am sure there are many great FMICs out there but this one is definitely one to consider.

I'm installing a VRSF 7" this weekend. I wanted a 7" because the minor trimming looks easy, more cooling capacity, you can still install the stock one later, and the trimming isn't visible unless you take off the bottom cover and crawl under the car. Plus I live in fl so I need all the cooling I can get.

VRSF 7" allowed me to pull hard time after time in 90 degree weather with high humidity! The price and quality is amazing

I'd highly recommend the ETS FMICs.

I'd recommend any intercooler that does away with the OEM connectors, they are a large restriction on this platform. Cast end tanks and a good fin pack are also pretty high up there on the list.

If you leave the OEM charge pipes on, as you can with the Mishimoto and a couple of other FMICs, the smog tech will not notice any changes unless he shines a flashlight through the lower grill and knows that to look for. The reason I chose the black Mishimoto FMIC was to make it as inconspicuous as possible in order to pass smog, which it has done once already.

If they are removing the under tray they'll be able to notice the intercooler isn't stock no matter what brand is being used. |
