I upgraded to a koyo. Thin aluminum, but i am happy. Car runs alot cooler now. I had to adjust the warm-up idle. My car was not comming off of warm-up mode. hope this helps.





i know i have a n/a 2nd gen. hope this helps.

Ask vosko about the fluidyne and Dave(Fd3BOOST) about the M2. The intercoolers will vary..

the fluidyne is not metric sized hose ends, so you cant use the good clamps on em



i have the mazdacomp one in my car, fits like stock and cools fine

the fluidyne is a bit more $ than the koyo and if they are relativly similar i gotta go with the koyo. Gotta save up for my engine managment, turbo upgrade, and all that good stuff, so i figured i better get it reliable before i start playing with it.
