Question FMIC Kit on Craigslist (San Jose)

Sup guys. I spotted a place here in SJ that sells FMIC kit for a few cars. They sell a kit for our car for $400 something. They use Godspeed core. What you guys think

400 is a bit steep for the ebay core. I paid somewhere around 280 for my full fmic kit off ebay.

It works helluve well though!

Thanks for the responds. Well not looking for a big core intercooler. I'm planning on keeping my stock turbo. I just really want the look to be honest performance is good too hehe. I'll keep looking thanks again

you will only get the look without the performance if the car isn't tuned for the larger FMIC.
You will effectively move your power curve to the right and have perceivably more lag as the stock turbo needs to push the same air thru more piping and a larger core
