spike blue - well the main differences are as follows: (you can decide which is better suited for your purposes).
(1) Our stage 1 FMIC kit uses the largest core that will fit under the stock bumper beam. 24"x6"x3.5"
(2) Our piping is the most direct route (shortest distance between turbo & throttle body).
(3) Our piping is made of T304SS vs. Chrome plated mild steel.
(4) Have proven power loss prevention results, and has been tested independantly by Turbo Magazine.
(5) Our set-up is designed to work with the stock airbox, our CAI or the Injen. It's also designed to work with the OEM BPV or any other universal replacement BPV.
(6) Our set-up allows the use of a larger radiator (ie: OEM P5 or aftermarket P5) for further cooling capabilities.
(7) Our set-up requires some minor cutting to non-structural/load bearing points of the vehicle.
(8) Our member discounted price is $925US + shipping for payment via MO.

1) HiBoost FMIC dimensions is 22 W x 6.5 H x 2.5 Thick
2) HiBoost FMIC hasn't been out long enough for Turbo Magazine to test it.
3) HiBoost's comes with a HKS BOV
4) Many members already have a different CAI (Injen, AEM, etc.) than the stock air box.
5) HiBoost FMIC requires NO CUTTING!
6) HiBoost FMIC is only $900
I think they are both great FMIC's, so whichever you choose will be fine. I am going to get the HiBoost FMIC.

I wish I could get a hold of both to do some performance testing. I am a test engineer and specialize in testing heat exchangers. I could provide a final result to which one puts out the best performance based on pressure drop and temp drop. but i do not have the cash to buy either one (yet).

I just came from my local import shop, guy who owns it is my brothers fraternity brother. Anywayz... he checked out my ride to see what he could do and he suggested on doing a custom fmic and hard pipe kit. he didn't really give me a set price, he just said name my budget and we'll go from there. he suggested on going w/ a spearco intercooler. as far as exhaust, he told me 2.5 is more than sufficient for our car. what do you all think??

ICEMAN.2 - either one will drop that front end weight.. if you want something more unique the V-weave would be better 
CanSPD<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_951725", true); </SCRIPT> - FYI, if you'd like some of our emperical test data drop us an email. BTW, pressure drop for our core is less then 0.1psi. The whole system has less pressure drop then the stock set-up.
spike blue - yes our set-up will work with the AEM CAI. We can't tell you how much it will be in total, b/c we don't sell AEM, we make our own stuff. Drop us an email -> info@ionperformance.com if you'd like more info.

spike blue - the cost of the stage 1 FMIC kit shippe to you for payment via MO is $995US. For CC via paypal it is $1064.65US shipped. (This is w/ the member discount).
Our system does not use a BOV, it uses the stock BPV or any BPV upgrade like the TXS RBV-25. Your car will not run properly w/o engine management using a BOV vented to atmosphere. The stock BPV is sufficient up to 10psi boost. If you plan on going w/ more boost, you can upgrade to a factory Porsche Bosch BPV or a TXS RBV-25.
