Go for ETS system from the USA and while you're at it, get some VSRF DP's too =]

The stuff from the States is quite expensive. And you can get bent over by customs too. The ETS one is a superb bit of kit but at £470 (5") plus post and customs, it's a lot of cash.

I'm really tempted to go for one of the e-bay Chinese ones. No doubt not as good as the ETS but for day to day driving, probably more than adequate and much better than standard.

I never track the car (I have a bike for that) so I don't think I will see £300 in difference.

I'd be dubious about the Chinese one personally but for that money, it is semi-tempting.

I've been looking at the Wagner Tuning stuff -

Beautiful gear. But look at the f**kin' price!! It's not like it's on show either. It's a bolt and forget item. Performance/£ is key.

Heard a few horror stories about the Chinese ones letting go. Im afraid in terms of performance parts, its usually expensive for a reason.

VRSF Intercooler... 5" is a good shout.

NO modding to the plastic shrouds for people on warranty

and if you are not aiming for stupid high powers in the future, it should be more than enough for us in the cooler climates..
Also it offers less pressure drop which is gd for spool

7" is for people who track and live in hot climates as well as do a lot of back to back to back runs.

I go for the HPF one because it does not need any mods but just cut some plastic, so I can just do it my self and it works perfect according to reviews

ive got one of these to fit to mine:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=544897

managed to get it for ~100£ delivered (within america) from ebay.com they are listed as RX7 coolers, but are identical to the ones used in the CXRacing kits.

needs abit of DIY mind, you just need to get a mount welded onto them and cut out the plastic shroud
