i would go for autobahn/HDI for the money.

 

[GTdan]

ive got a autobahn - come round and have a scan at it.

 

[manny2008]

yeh ok mate i will do. When are you free pal? and where shall i meet you?

 

[sx_turbo]

the autobahn ones now come with t-bolt clamps after issues with the jubilee clips

 

[tom_hunt]

Dave Burwash sells some by a company called "Forced". I have one of them and I have no problems what so ever with it! The quality is also just as good as the Autobahn ones.

Nothing wrong with the Autobahn 88 fmic!!

I have no problems with my one. Its a good price too! :rockon:

 

[glanza_dan]

i would go hdi..
very nice item

 

[manny2008]

hmmmm there seems to be mixed opinions on this one i take it ha! i'll take a look at the autobahn 88 & the hdi and go from there. I'll see what GTDans is like 2nite. What power increase would i expect to gain? 5-10 fwhp?

 

[GTdan]

i would say thats an accurate guestimate - the hdi increase the power by 11bhp from the rolling road graphs dane posted up.

any fmic is better than the original one.

 

[Seanmcn]

any fmic is better than the original one.

Well said!!

Hey Mate,

Take a look at the link I have above no other FMIC on the market supplies such detailed graphs and reasearch into their product as the HDi group have. The cores are very big and you do need to do some cutting of the bumper to fit it but overall the kit provides absolute minimal lag and majority of people have said you cant even notice any lag or pressure drops with the HDi coolers, it’s a very well made kit that might cost a little more than some on the market but I can assure you it is a quality kit and you will have a great smile on your face once its fitted on your GT.

If i was buying a fmic i would def get a HDI ive seen a few and the do require some triming but there a great kit.

 

[lleey2k4]

My opinion.

Dont fancy the HDI only because the actual size of the core and how much bumper that seems to need cutting.

The Autobahn i dont like the idea of the piping going over the manifold im getting rid of the EFI pipe to get rid of the piping over the mani.

So has to be WEPR FMIC for me looks the biz and heard the piping is pretty thick and the little core is supposed to give minimal lag.

Just my 2 pence. :teach:
