I got a cheap chinky fmic and its fine, the only issue I had is that it needed an apexi induction kit so that it would fit. My cars a '95 wrx and the universals only fit on post '96 or something. The guy told me it would fit and even sent me pics (of a post '96 engine bay).
Just factor in the cost of an apexi induction kit when buying, the autobahn88 does include this fitting kit - the cost worked out about the same for me by the time I'd bought the apexi.

I reckon it will be pretty fast when its done .Think he`s going abit ott with it though for a road car . 250+bhp through the front wheels sounds a lot to me . Its gonna be dodgy in the wet

Guys, I'm guessing "chinky" isn't a manufacturer, but rather a slang term for chinese

Can you please refrain from using this term; it's more Alf Garnet than SN!

It was fast enough with 150bhp till it melted a piston . Think he will regret it at 250 especialy the paddle clutch .Should be fun thou till he crashes it

Nick, if you are custom making the pipework, I have a Hybrid core available for £60. You get a quality item then

No offence was intend and I never called anyone a ***** ????? (except for my mate pete who calls me hill billy ) Maybe the intercooler heard me and thats upset ?
I find it ridiculous that people try and look on what ever they can as a racist comment and if the london lot want to cut my lips off never mind Im English and take no offence to it being abbreviated to Brit. Maybe I should and start my own lip collection .

OK, I''m knocking this one on the head: the OP has got the response he was after and refrained from using the offending term in their last post: no point letting this turn into a row!
