Any one tried/Tested this FMIC




http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-135I-335...item45ff4e1e03

I have seen a few godspeed intercoolers posted on here but on those the input and output are at an angle were these are mendrel bent just like the more expensive brands. it says .2-.5 drop at 15 psi

ANY FEEDBACK on this ? ? ?

A local member had one like that. It didn't fit right. Ended up sitting way too low.

Looks nice, but I wouldnt risk buying an ic that could leak ir not fit right and then be stuck with it.
Return policy is if its defective, but if you cant get it to fit its your problem.

Was that the IC that the front bumper blocked the core?
IIRC he was very dissapointed and customer service basically told him to piss off.

I know its another knockoff but so is the "Big tom" and the rest of the ebay wonders. not all of us are shooting for the 800hp goal.

I agree with you, but with the availability of the KL racing/godspeeds/etc intercoolers i would stick with the established DIY FMICs.
BTW, Dzenno is running the KL racing FMIC and i think it's safe to say he's top dog right now.
