Which FMIC to get?

RyderSU · 04-24-2019, 09:57 AM

Howdy, I'm looking for some guidance on what IC to get.

I was thinking about going with the Aa intercooler, but want some other opinions.

I'm getting a Catless DP, upgraded Chargepipe, and a tune from RKTunes. Please let me know what you all think.

Can't go wrong with the AA intercooler. Any 6" intercooler will be adequate for your setup but if you don't plan on tracking the car then you could save some money and get a smaller intercooler. I've heard good things about VRSF, Wagner, and CSF. I plan on getting one of VRSF's options personally.

There was a good thread with comparison. I believe the outcome was that tube and fin type intercoolers were better for throttle response vs bar and plate intercoolers for maximum volume (for people that are after ultimately highest output while sacrificing response).
Also when not upgrading turbos I believe 5" was recommended again for minimizing lag.

Active is one of our most popular options, i strongly recommend it.
