Just wanted to know for those who have these FMIC, what your dislikes and likes are. Planning to get one soon and came to a conclusion of both of these. Your input would be greatly appreciated! [:)]

Well of course I love mine. It makes a huge difference it hot weather. Not to mention it is a quality low cost option.

That's a great choice also[eek]
That's the most overpriced choice [eek]
fixed :)
FMIC is a FMIC, there isn't huge differences between them, its just aluminum, just get the one that has a reputation to fit so you don't have to dick around trying to get it to fit.

That's a good price on it. I never understood why people pay $1300 for a piece of metal that has some microsoft excel charts...I'm like I can make these charts, maybe I should get intercoolers, make piping kits and sell them for $1300, "If you build it, they will come" amirite?
I say go for the most affordable option that fits properly. No sense in spending more.

I agree[up]. I wish I would pay $1300.00 for a FMIC[headbang]. Id smack myself and stick my foot up my ass all in one stroke[facepalm]

Ok...i thought this thing was expensive at $1100...and even more at $1300...but it currently retails at $1600...I have never seen anything increase in cost as fast as this AWE intercooler has. Well excluding the AWE exhaust. These guys are hilarious,just because you make porsche aftermarket parts, doesn't mean that Audi guys will pay the same premium.
Oh also here is the link to the worlds most expensive chunk of metal to a cool a 2.0t

Let me get your opinion on turbo options. You are maxed out on mods pretty much, are you thinking about upgrading to the next level?

Either the CTS K04 0064 kit with rods with UM tune. They are planning on having some cool User control options via vagcom cable available sometime this summer (projected) v. Waiting for JHM stage 3 kit (hopefully second in line to Jake's car) v. A setup like JT. I saw his car at the JHM BBQ this past weekend, the thing rips at 40psi. I have been holding off a build until I am done with residency which is nearing at the end if June.

All sound like great options! I saw that 40 psi of JT's car....seems like mad overboost no? If its a gtx2863 he should be pretty inefficient at 40 psi, I think that turbo peaks around 27-30 psi. Either way I'm planning out a road trip to arizona, california, and nevada this summer so I hope to catch a ride and meet up with some of you guys.

Trust me either ways you go you are gonna like it.
I run UM's only b7 K04 tune with E85. Its nice man. Also, have octane switching and launch control. More to come.

Sweet, maybe we can organize a drive while you are out. Turbo upgrade will revolve heavily around tuning options as i would like to avoid maestro altogether.

Yeah those options they run for the tune sound great, maybe i will consider the E85 tune as well with the number you put down.

K04 on e85 would be great, loads of torque, early spool. Seth you are in diesel territory, well no you have too much horsepower but that is soo much torque.

All cores have the logo on them, but if you do not want it to show all you have to do is flip the core around [up]

The mounting point is centered on the core so it can be flipped either way.

Grooooooossss....But seriously you should start thinking about this. You guys are out in california. The IPA mecca of the westcoast(see what I did there), you should send out a 6 pack of tasty beers and a family size bag of chips. I would pay an etra $25-30 for that convenience. It's like I got my parts and I got my food for the next few hours, lets get down to business. You can add it on to every product and call it a convenience package. Start some deals with local Breweries and chip factories to get good deals, I could see a solid 50% profit margin on this package, it's not a bad deal.

bahahahahah that sentence was supposed to have the word lunch somewhere in there...., but hey since you brought it up, what about a rental service?
