they are good.. universal so you will have to do your piping/cutting of piping or parts of the car etc..

ive heard of no complaints but ive held some up personally and they are very nice.. I spent like $800 on a HKS type S FMIC on my 240sx a few years ago before the ebay intercoolers came out... and known people who built their fmic setup for far much less then what i have paid.. kinda sucks they got the same performance lol . ive heard of people runing them with no negatives..

My opinion would be to use the search function on the forum. This has been covered almost as many times as "What mods should i get". Just search dude you will get lots of info.

I have been discussing and looking into these alot lately and they are definitely not as good as high end makes. Theyre fine for low boost application but once you go past 14-15 lbs of boost the intakes temp skyrocket in comparison to a greddy or similar unit.

Dont let that scare you though, if your using the stock turbo it should be just fine.

So this Ebay Spearco ALIC isn't any good?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Spear...spagenameZWDVW

And this Ebay Spearco AAIC must suck too.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Spear...spagenameZWD1V

And this Ebay Greddy AAIC kit must also be junk.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GRedd...spagenameZWD1V

Yep, the Ebay stuff just doesn't stack up to the high end makes. So what are the high end makes, anyway?
