I can vouch for Jack's products too. I love my FMIC and Exhaust! Top notch and top quality products! And I don't hesitate to recommend them.
As far as which is better, you just have to look at the specs pros/cons and make up your own mind. Both are good kits. I have seen Juan's products in person as well and they are also high quality pieces. For me I loved the pipe routing, ability to use the stock bpv, ability to upgrade the factory radiator (I did - awr high performance
) and Jack's overall product quality.
Just think about what you want to do and decide what works best for you.

from the thread of the hiboost fmic...it comes with the old stlye hks RECIRCULATING BOV....if you are gonna run an open bov youll need the dual bov/bpv or engine management on either set-up...shaolin said:
so just to set things straight here about bov's....it comes with a recirculating one.
Just as an FYI for everyone, I called Perrin today. I was told two things were to be out by the end of this month:
Turbo Back Exhaust 3"
FMIC
I was also told that RETAIL these are going to be sold at:
Turbo Back Exhaust 3" - $749
FMIC (Complete including Bumper Support) $1399
Look for the prices to be cheaper at dealers as what dealers really sell @ MSRP?
BTW, YES I DID TYPE "TURBO BACK" Call Perrin with your questions, this is all that I was told.

apex got a new intercooler core for the MSP http://www.apexr1.com/amsuninas.html AMS universal core, you could buy that and have a shop fab. you some piping ands its only 325$. Me personally im still debating on ION vs. HIBoost... I've read every single piece of info about both their probust and im still stuck... i want the FMIC, with a recerclatory bov/bpv, no cutting and i want to eb able to boost to about 12 psi.. so it looks like HIboost is ahead... SOMEONE SWAY ME!

i like the bigger core on the iON. i don't like the fact you have to cut.
hi boost is nice. no cutting, but smaller core.
i see value in both, i would have ordered one of them by now, but i'm waiting for the greddy and perrin. we shall see... greddy release is slated for this summer, so a month or 2.

Our kit comes with a Spearco core that will support over 350WHP. Any larger unit is oversized for the output of the FS engine. The Intercooler has been proven by many people in our powerful P5 kit producing over 270WHP.
The end tanks are cast aluminum for good flow and better looks and all piping is mandrel bent with no wrinkles and as smooth as posible with no welds and beading to prevent the hoses from coming loose.
It includes a HKS recirculatory BOV, so there is no need for fuel management and the HKS SSQV can be bolt it right on the flange.
It is designed to keep the piping as far away as posible from the exhaust manifold.
Here are some pictures of the kit installed.

Hey... I have a question. I want to keep the forge bpv that I have. how much of a hassle (cost) would it be for a fmic that will let me use my bpv in the stock setup manner? I would also like black instead of polished. I am very close to deciding on a setup, so if you work with me, you have my business.HiBoost TS said:
What is this about engine management if you run a vented BOV? Tons of people are running type-s BOV's that are vented without using engine management. Just requires a bit of tuning on the BOV. There is a thread somewhere about tuning your type-s to run smoothly while vented.

i think i'm going with the hi boost kit. i really like how it looks and the fact that there is no cutting involved. also i like the BOV and the setup. my only question for you guys is should i leave the stock grille in when i get the FMIC or should i take it out. if i take it out should i put in WW mesh or just leave it open?

I know, we have used some SSQV vented and it works fine, but someone was talking about the setup needing to run a fuel management system if a vented valve was used.mattybo said:
