AMR or Process West IC

So I'm planning on upgrading my turbo on my STi with the GT3071r. (Instead of running the Blouch 2.5r)
I'm staying top mount but what do you guys think. Go with AMR or the Process West with hood scoop duct.

I think that turbo is for girls... please rethink that .. Blouch makes great turbos but that is not one of them! not enough bang for the buck! unless you found it used.. that being said pw is a great choice!!!

Wow - what an ignorant statement! Not everyone has the same needs or performance goals.

I'm also considering the polka pickle + PW tmic/splitter as part of my next set of upgrades.

ignorant? there are better turbos for less money..... cheap maybe but not ignorant! Ive owned quite a few turbos and like I said blouch makes a great turbo but the polka pickle aka disco potato is not one of them. matter of fact if you talked to people with the turbo you would problably hear the same thing its good but not great!


but hey some people have money to burn but not me!

some people just do not know what hey are talking about and flex their e-muscles online with half assed knowledge. there was bound to be one here too. that being said, the Process West unit looks like it ha a TON of work and research that went into it. especially with the ducting pics and info.

Was inclined towards the AMR unit. But like you said they really did their homework developing it. I would save some money too with the Process West unit. The only thing I cant seem to see is where the AC lines attach

I really dig the AMR unit but I have a preference toward black car parts. But you can always paint the PW piece.

Both are solid TMIC's. You'd be solid with both of them. Lots of dough spent on an intercooler... what other bits are you getting?
