FMIC, what's the best
 

So I've been reading a ton of threads and am ready to buy a new intercooler, but the threads of course all say something different. Some say that the ebay intercoolers are just as good as the more expensive ones. I've always liked the looks of the Alta intercooler but haven't seen them used with a countryman. Some threads swear that it's all about Forge or Helix and nothing else compares. I read a thread that says we should just get the jcw intercooler for our countryman's. Looking at the jcw intercooler, it looks like the one that waymotorworks sells as an upgrade for the countryman s. So what is really the best route? I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to take a long weekend from the wife and kids so I can get a couple states over for a manic tune, but I definitely will be getting a tune by next spring to go with my catless downpipe, intake, exhaust, and recirculation valve. Hell, I might even have a new turbo by next spring, but that's getting really off topic now. I'm looking for facts, if I'm only going to get around 30-35% more cooling whether it be ebay for $200 or Forge for $900, I'm going to go with ebay. Please give me some good useful input.:impatient:

i was told to get the JCW r60 FMIC for 375 bucks. id do that.

You can go with Ebay's but I went with the Helix. It definitely helps in the summer time cause weather gets super hot here in Michigan, stupid heat soak😒. But I would look at the marketplace for a good priced one. I'll be selling mine shortly on there. May want to keep a look out.

I just ordered the Wagner for what it is worth.

Why selling? When? Price? ;)

Price I'll be asking is $480. I'm selling it because I'm selling the car. It'll be up maybe this week or next.

can you give link? i dont see it for our car on their site.
