i would say no....you get what you pay for

Plus wouldn't you want a electronic boost controller

I'm on the sts route also

ive heard that those cheap ebay fmic's actually work pretty good..i wouldnt trust the other shit tho...

What are the dimensions of the STS intercooler anyway?

 

[RedDragon]

There has to be an alternative out there that isnt as costly as the $1000 STS intercooler. Whose got some ideas?

 

[GoatChs]

BlewbyU has offered his up for sale...pm him.

I've PM him, and I'm affraid I'm on a tight budget, so I'm trying to avoid the costly $1,000 price tag.

Here is what you need to get. I along with another member have this same intercooler and I will tell you its top quality....We are doing are own intercooler and at most its going to cost 300.00 max depending where you get your parts but this is the 100% correct size intercooler

Cool, I would love to see how your going to fab the FMIC(ie hoses, piping, and mounting) This will be my first hand's on project which will be performed with the support of the local O-Town GOATs.

I would also get a wideband too. But some are not anal like me. But if anyone wants to go that way I found a hit on the dynojet commander wide band and this place has the cheapest price in the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gordon (aussieGTO) is fabbing up a FMIC setup for his son nathan's car. it's not a GTO but i can't imagine a GTO being worse than a 240sx with a SR20-DET swap. i'm pretty sure he'll help ya out... and he's over in seminole county. shoot me a PM and i'll get in touch with him.

Great If, I'm going to do this I need all The help I can get to make it as cheap but effective as possibe. Readhttp://www.ls2gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104308 for details

I'm straped for cash but too ignorant to quit at the moment:drink:

Also in relation to the original post, the BOV is an HKS SSQV and retails for $289http://www.jscspeed.com/wrx/bov/hks_bovk.htm and the Boost Controllers go for $115.
But the real question is If I were to risk buying it can they be mounted on the STS kit itself, in place of the original kit's upgrades.

Well honestly here in va 757 area there are plenty of tuners (what most on this website would call ricers ) who opt for ebay stuff.. I know of quite a few that have ordered FMIC's off ebay, including some that ordered turbo manifolds off there and they have nothing but good things to say about them..

1000 for FMIC is crazy.. I'd go ebay before that.. I mean I'd rather spend 100-200 first then 1000 right off the bat.. Besides if it doesn't work for ya.. flip and sell it back on ebay :turbonaug

Dude I have got all my stuff off ebay for years and have never had a problem and I am about to order my boost controller off ebay

I even got my STS kit off ebay...
