Alta Top Mount Intercooler Version 2.0

I'm about to grab up the TMI as well as a pully I seem to find myself on the sites searching them daily.
I guess I should jsut give in and make the jump already.
Anyone know where to find the TMI at the best price.
And how you like it if you have it installed?

If you want it new Ebay is going to give you the best price. If you don't trust Ebay talk to Brad (Scooby03) at custom MINI shop.

If you don't mind used theres afew here on NAM for $350-400.

Thanks for the info.
I'm a bit hesitent to pick this type of item up off ebay.
I'm also looking for V.2
I've found it for 699.99 new
Seems to be the best price I can locate so far
Wondering if anyone knows of it being offered for lower?

The two dealers on ebay are reputable and I have had no problems with them before.

Yea I think you're right. The TMIC part thru me off. I'm used to it being called a DFIC. Thanks for the fix.

i've read somewhere around here that m7 is soon releasing a new version of the DFIC. You might want to give them a call to get info on it...

FWIW I have no experience with either IC so I can't provide any other useful info.
