Looking to upgrade my fmic

2011 335i xdrive 65k miles
Mods
Vrsf CP
Vrsf catless DP
MHD stage 2
Stock turbo

It’s my DD and no plan on upgrading my turbo

Im only looking at Vrsf and Psp

Vrsf
5” stepped or 7” HD

Psp
600ic or 750ic

Which and why should i go with?

I went 7in cause as of now I don’t plan on swapping my turbo but down the road if I change my mind i don’t want to have to buy a bigger fmic. So I say go big

Should i go Vrsf 7” or psp 750ic?
How’s the install on 7”? I read a lot of cutting required

I also have the vrsf 7in and the cutting isn't bad, it's just some unneeded plastic that doesn't allow the intercooler to fit properly

The cutting isn’t to bad. If you can get someone to help you it’ll make the install a lot easier. I like my vrsf the figment and quality were on point. I’m not sure about the other brand you listed.

Any other parts i need to change while changing fmic?

Get the biggest front mount intercooler possible

I agree with this. Unless you go with the largest one on the market you'll still see higher temps on longer pulls.

That’s my other choice and lower cp is included..
U have to buy it separately at vrsf..

Any other part i need to replace while im at it?
Inlet/outlet?

No the VRSF intercoolers come with the lower chargepipe upgrade. But PSP you can't beat the deal right now.. I had the 7.5 inch race Fmic and it was amazing. Turbo outlet if you're an N55 I recommend you pick up a VRSF turbo outlet since the stock one is plastic and will oval out over time causing a boost leak. For N54 their outlet is made of metal so it's not an issue for them

I run the VRSF 5" stepped. It works awesome. Plenty cool IAT's.....
