    How deep are her pockets? lol :D

    List is endless man, what sized one did you have on there before? What sort of power are you putting down/looking to put down? did you want to stay with FMIC or did you want to move to SMIC's? The list is quite literally endless man, check out the group buys/parts for sale section, is always a few intercoolers laying around - alternatively theres the Search function....or CZP :p

    I am using a UAS FMIC.

    Not cheap at around $1800 (forum price) BUT it certainly works. See discussion on intake temps... http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=296915

    Same as on Slot Car.

    Do your short pipes have the kinks in the middle of them Rob?

    My cheap ebay FMIC has nice smooth bends is all...

    I see what you mean... My piping is all custom anyway as it has been changed to 2.5". I'm on the way to the shop now to drop off some ceramic'ed bits i'll see if there are any kits laying around i can photograph.
    Smooth bends sounds good!

    See if you can get the TTZED FMIC it has alloy pipes in the kit as opposed to steel in the others. The bends are perfect No seams at all. Last I looked its about $1400

    I know Simon is a pain to deal with but the product is great. Fits better than all the others I have seen.

    The intercoolers

    lower intake air temperatures, got nothing to do with lowering turbo temperatures.

    intercooler

    I run the ttz fmic on one of my zeds and a hks side by side fmic on the other.

    Imho the hks one is a bit better and fits perfectly. The ttz one when I got it ages ago needed the lower pipes made tighter (had to make a tighter radius which I had done by an exhaust shop and sent them back to simon who had them made in alloy and sent back) the fitment other than that was perfect. I think uas had a hks side by side kit. Be worth enquiring. If its on the house id snap one of those up :)
