There is Corksport and then there is Greddy/Freddy. Only 2 options I am aware of.

The Freddy (knockoff greddy) is nice because it is cheap.
The Corksport is nice because it is more hidden behind the front bumper.

If I had to choose a fmic now, I'd make a custom one with no gap between the radiator and intercooler. Intercooler right behind or right in front of radiator. Lots of FD fmic kits are set up like this.

I'll bomb this thread with my greddy elbow for sale that has been modified to eliminate the need for a 90* coupler. It's a great piece, but I went FD uim/tb and can't use it anymore. Would be great for a custom fmic or vmount.

That is not the corksport fmic kit. Their kit utilizes the factory compression tube and elbow coupler.

CORKSPORT 'Power Series' RX7 FMIC Kit

Your kit looks like the classic Greddy/Freddy fmic kit judging by the first 2 pipes off the Greddy/Freddy compression tube.

Just a heads up. Ebay cores are garbage.
my brother tunes evos and he had one of his customers come back with an "upgraded" intercooler core that replaces the factory one in its stock location. THis cooler was nearly twice the size of the original and it made less whp. on AVG.

What i mean is. that it did make 5 more whp on the first highwaypull but everypull after that it made 20-40 less whp. INtake temps went through the roof and ecu pull timing naturally resulting in a slower car. my brother told him to go install the factory one back on- and the car was retuned and whp became consistent again. The kid and my brother eventually got True garrett cores that cost 600$ for just the core. garret cores own all cores.

Gl.
