$189 ebay FMIC kits - good or horrible?

[LASERBLUE135]

I'm sure many of you have seen them, if you haven't just ebay "mazdaspeed fmic" and they are there. Anyway the guy has great feedback on the FMIC for other cars, didn't see any reviews for the msp, but the kit looks good and is CHEAP AS HELL. So what do you all think?

its universal, you will have to bend and cut pipe, no insert for maf sensor, and the core of intercooler is made out of cheaper metal that doesnt have as good as head dissipation..

just remember, you get what you pay for.

looks pretty good
it is a universal kit though
might be a good buy if you have the resources to make it fit

maybe ill go this route and have some fun getting it fit since i missed out on turbolife's GB

its cheap for a reason...

at that price you'll end up getting a quality core anyways, so i would say just source the parts to make your own kit - universal pipe kit, couplers, decent core, etc

... Ebay intercoolers, not so much. Seen the welds literally blow out, of course thats under quite a bit of boost, like 25 which you probably wont be seeing but still! Treat your ride like your girl. Give her what she wants and she'll give you what you want.

www.max-redline.com has pretty good prices on FMIC's and you can buy all the piping and couplers or whole pipe kits you could ever want.
