I'm using a FMIC from a Mitsu Starion. That seems to be a popular one to use. I know several people who are using them. Also they are pretty easy to find in junkyards.

The nose is a standard Mazdatrix nose. Got tired of the square lights, filled in the holes and went with round.

Not sure on the max boost the ic will hold. I've ran mine around 10-12lbs with no problems. I don't see too much problem in running 15lbs.

I, also, have heard of people using the Isuzu, be not sure which model.

i use a isuzu NPR intercooler, they are bigger and better that the starion intercoolers and they are easier to find that the starion ones.
