if anyone wants to give me an extra $200 for me to get the real deal turbo xs intercooler i wont mind .. i think im gonna go ahead and order the ebay big tmic i see no difference and djerickd is running one wit no issues ... i plan on using the stock bov .. that wont be a problem if i run a bigger turbo? do i have to get a aftermarket one? any pros/cons to having a atmospheric bov other than the noise?

yeah run the stock bov it should be fine. Also for only $180 the intercooler is one hell of a deal.

Zooby.. the stock BPV is good up to around 21psi. And, if you go over that, there is a mod you can do to it to make it hold more. And that mod consists of beating it with a hammer.. lol. You have to do something else, but that's pretty much all it consits of.

i just got my ebay tmic(ssautochrome) in yesterday for 180 shipped. got like 3-4 fins bent but no worse than what my stock tmic already looks. everything else looks great. cant beat it for the price. havent installed it yet but will soon.
