A certain ebay timc...

I know some of you have ebay TMIC's, and I've heard they can work quite well. This one looks like it comes pretty well equipped and it looks decently made. Has anyone ordered one like this or maybe this exact type and have any feedback for me? Its only 160 so its cheap...should that make me worry? Thanks.

Yea I remember seeing an ad for 50$ when I searched sti intercooler on craigs list - he showed the exact same kit I was looking at and he said it didn't come with everything. I guess I'm kinda up a creek if they don't send me everything but, I suppose I could always charge back with paypal.

You don't have to pay $1200 for an intercooler but $160?? I wouldn't do it on such a crucial power component. Everyone is different. I haven't heard anything bad about them though, but I have also heard nothing about them so yeah, I will shut up now

I have the same exact intercooler too. Took some adjusments to get it to fit right but it works great. I had to get a different throttle body hose for it though. I used everything else it comes with except I'm using the stock bov.

if you go ebay might as well go the fmic.... I did a writeup on i-club if you search under my name and "ebay fmic"
for tmic, I think more important than what you buy is SETUP. Lots of people (including me) forget this - get a new splitter and modify it to adequately flow air to the IC.
Otherwise with a bigger tmic and removing the splitter (cause hood will not fit w/ big tmic and stock splitter) is probably WORSE THAN STOCK
