turboXS is probably not even close to the top of my personal list. cobb is definitely a part that screams quality. cp-e has really impressed me with their kit and how well it is put together and how well it works with other parts such as intakes - it is the only FMIC that works with ALL of them.

I'll be buying a cp-e fmic in the future, I can't wait. From what I've been reading and what I've been told that cobb and cpe make great products

 

[Captain KRM P5]

they do - honestly the three top tier companies for this car are Cobb, CP-e and Corksport. that they all start with C is merely coincidental

the resend i asked about the tuboxs fmic is because so far is the only one thats out there that larges core out there
for example:

coob

turboxs

 

[aaronc7]

cocksport huh?

The cobb fmic actually has more VOLUME than the TurboXS (it's thicker). Cobb's is a pretty beefy core. I don't like the look of hte TurboXS one either

the biggest core does not mean you have the best core, people. this is why you see equally excellent gains with an upgraded top mount. in fact, the ETS top mount has as much or more internal volume than just about all the front mount kits out there right now. you are trading heat soak for lag and flow path length when you go from the top mount to the front mount.

you need to be able to efficiently and quickly pressurize a large core, and doing so on a front mount means you need to be pushing a good amount of boost. you can actually stand to increase the amount of turbo lag and lose low end power by slapping on the largest core possible at stock boost. the quality of the core being used has alot to do with the end result as well. this is why i recommend the kits i did, because you are guaranteed a quality intercooler core. you don't want to get a core with leaks, thin flow paths and shoddy welds. you should also consider this if you go to build your own setup. the infamous cheap ebay core is cheap for a reason.

you definitely want to do your research and ask all the right questions. this car is a blast when modded properly and a pain when things don't go right

I read somewhere that the ets TMIC tends to bang against the firewall a lot when your shifting.

that was a problem with the shroud on the earlier models that has been rectified, and will also not be a problem on the TMIC we will be releasing shortly.
