Hi, Before anyone suggests that i use the search function on here i have already lol . Im simply looking for the most efficient front mount intercooler kit for my 20vt. Fitment and Cost are the two most important issues that come to mind. atm, Pro Alloy (expensive imo)and the EVO FMIC are the most obvious options available. Can anyone tell me of their current set up, or preferred/recommended choices with an explanation Why. Thanks in advance everyone

I would choose the pro alloy FMIC kit, simply because it comes with all the correct pipes/hoses/silicones. saves you the headache to look them yourself.

The pro alloy kit is BY FAR the best choice. It fits extremely well, and is made to a very high quality.
The down side is price. I supply and fit these for £600.
There was a group buy recently for a cheaper copy of the pro alloy kit, it isnt anywhere near as good quality, but it works and is £250 or so i think.

yes thats right. The EVO route is a bad fitment, with hoses hanging below the car, and make shift fixing of the intercooler (cable ties anyone?). The pro alloy is the way forward, nobody said modding was cheap huh?

That company isn't favoured on here. Here's an example of why.

Depends if you want to be ripped off from someone who was banned (from the forum) for not delivering £1100 worth of goods to someone.

Just curious but how does the pace fmic run on 20vt? Not good, Its a double pass unit and makes the car very 'Laggy' Go for the Pro Alloy, its a great bit of kit

Pro Alloy seems to be a done deal really.

Depends if you want to be ripped off from someone who was banned (from the forum) for not delivering £1100 worth of goods to someone. Are you sure what you are writing, ask the guy if he got money back or not? its really hard offense writing something that you heared from a third could not be the true or only half... I can't imagine this because i already bought some parts from this company and i visited twice personally, he is a very polite person..everything was fine.. i do not want to make pulicity at this point but it s a must for me to write this down the theme is Fmic choices so i posted this choice...
