So your ok with spending £500+ on an intercooler kit for a starlet?
Even though it will do the same job as some of the cheaper makes out there...

see this is my problem im so stuck on what to buy i had a blitz one on my old glanza and it was awesome but was thinking of trying something different this time, what one would you advise cause i dont really wanna have to totally mutilate my front bumper

Yeah i agree the blitz and hks fmics are awesome build quality but you can get a decent fmic for a third of the price that will do the same job.

Well the WEPR fmic kit is pure quality, the piping is awesome and the core is a decent size and wont require much cutting of you bumper if any tbh.
I had it fitted to mine with a TOMS bumper and it only needed minimal trimming.

Abit on the piss as the bumper is not on properly but you get the idea.

The jperformance/hdi fmic kit with the massive core is what i have now, it needed a little more trimming of my TOMS bumper, as the core is alot bigger, but is one of the better cheaper kits out there at the minute.

Now my mate has the same kit fitted to his mark 3 gt, and he managed to fit the kit without touching the bumper, all he did was fit the core as far back as possible.
You can just see it there.

as far as im led to believe its only build quality thats different
a slightly cheaper one will do the exact same job as a more expensive one.

think i need to have a proper think about it, I would really still like to see a hks fmi fitted and off the car if anyone has one or knows of anyone running one!!
