Why don't more people use the TT SMIC?
Most na-t setups I've seen are using the xspower or ebay intercoolers as inexpensice options.
Why not use the tt smic with custom piping? How much will this flow? 400, 450whp?
Thx

Thanks for the replies. Thing is, I like the stealthy/inexpensive route.
So what are the limitations of the stock smic? (I don't plan on more than 450whp cause im 5 spd)

most poeple get it bc its soooooo cheap, i dont know how much a stock smic is but i remember i got my ebay IC for 200 shipped. and on my honda it held 19psi just fine and cooled VERY well... i made 504whp
i suppose if youre gonna spend a small amount of money why not just get the one that is better? the ebay one
in a turbo car heat is your enemy... the cooler the air less chance of detonation and such... not only that im sure the large front mount can yeild just a little more power at the same boost level than the stock one can
its just logical to get the large cheap one... theyre actually very good products for the cheap price
