Hey Omar,

its kevin with the TII right around your corner. Its an okay intercooler for the price. The intercooler and piping fit fine. You may have to relocate your battery depending which way you do your piping. But in all honesty, I don't think the starion is a good enough FMIc for the RWHP you're trying to get.

Hey Kevin, how are those front lips coming along

Im only planing to make about oh 260rwhp or less with the stage one from BNR. It has be better than the stock S5 TMIC right? Although I have heard they flow almost the same, so im not sure what to do. You have or had one on your TII? Thanx!

You serious??? **** I have a bit more then that (power wise) on the stock intercooler.

So if the Starion's suck so bad, what are some other cheaper low end intercoolers that your not just paying for the big name on? I want a FMIC too but don't wanna shell out for something just cause its made by HKS or Greddy or something.

I had one on my 87 TII. They work well but the inlet and outlet tubes are sort of tiny.
