Default new fmic (hopefully)

So I have posted this over at the other forums but I have yet to get a lot of response. I am working with ssautochrome.com trying to get a fmic in the works. Estimated costs around $250. I need 25-50 so we can get this started. I have personally ran 2 of there kits on my subarus and the quality is actually top notch. So let me know if u r interested!

go to their website. there is nothing thats even fab'd yet becuz they are waiting to hear the response from everyone.

it sounds cheap but they are not made from soda cans take a look at this thread:

I don't know about the intercoolers, but I have heard a lot of horror stories about their turbos.

any intercooler kit for 250 is going to be garbage. you can barely get an intercooler for 250 alone that will flow well...now your adding piping and couplers and clamps. i dont think so. now 25-50 people makes the cost seem closer to POSSIBLE (still far fetched) but good luck on achieving 25+ people.

you could not be more wrong. not garbage. i ran it on my suby that made 350+ whp, i was one of the first to get it and from all the test we ran i droped only 1psi for pressure drop which is amazing for a fmic. the pipes are all stainless steel, i had zero rusting..the only thing i had to get myself was a few couplers which isnt a big deal. its a very nice bar and plate intercooler. i dont know what the dimensions will be on the mp3 but this is what it looked like on the subaru.

I think 1k is way too much for an intercooler. I don't think 250 is too little. Count me in as interested.

I hope you are right. But seriously they must have a sweat shop because to bend all that material and include the core is nuts for that price. Then you have welding and packaging and etc. Thats impressive if a company can really make enough margin to stay in business with that.
