Q about a FMIC?

Does anyone know if a stock EvoVIII FMIC would be suitable to use? I'm not sure on the dimensions of it but, do you think I would have any problems using it? I mean beside custom tubing and whatnot.

its a decent core, anything is possible, since people use npr's, volvo's, starion's, and all sorts of other stock ic's in the 7.

you might have to pay extra because it says "evo" so I would just get a intercooler with the dimentions you want. I got the greddy kit but if I made one I would have used a spearco core.

No, I have a chace to buy an actual Stock EvoVIII (right off the car) intercooler for about $150. I think it sounds pretty good for a new intercooler plus it looks to be a good size.

for $200 you can get a slim aftermarket fmic, perfect fit for the stock bumper opening.

I was looking at the EVO cooler before I plumbed my FMIC and I'm glad I didn't get it because you'll have fun. The way the inlet and outlet + the size of it, you'll have to take the front bumper off to get clearance and mount it. Then you'll have to figure out the pipes. That in mind I bought mine for $220 to the door and I wish the in/outlets were on the very bottom of my cooler. This isn't to detour you but I would suggest to consider how much work and cash you want to put into it.

You think I could try to mount the IC upside down so that the pipes wouldn't so difficult to put on considering the in/outlets curve downwards?
