ChilicooperS, I'm not sure how your comment relates to the link I posted ( for comparison to the DFIC as an alternative solution, although it's $$$$ more than the M7 unit ).
Looks like your DFIC is doing great.

Originally I stated in a joking way that if he wanted to get a DFIC like mine it would put him out about $1100. Then you said something about taking my advice and posted a link to a badass looking top mount that was really expensive. Then I posted what I got in a DFIC for that $1100. Sorry for the confusion. Yeah my DFIC is great. I had the opportunity to drive my car with and without the included scoop. The scoop makes so much of a difference it's incredible. Originally(for like the first month after I got it) I was like "okay I don't know if that's the best $1100 I could have put into my car" Then after the scoop went on I quickly retracted my statement and really think it was well worth it... plus how many people out there have a freaking black intercooler?

Actually the intercooler you posted is closer to $3k US. But 30bhp from an intercooler isn't too bad

Yes it's a real bad boy. Actualy I found it quite a while ago. And with the cost, all you need to do is save a little more for an M62, a better choice IMHO.

In addition to function, doesn't the scoop look awesome too?
