Thanks for Mike mike@x-ph.com for the hook up on the Evo Comp 2

Sucks Wagner took sooo long to get it sent out but it's finally here. Thanks for being patient and responding promptly.

I'll get it installed next week

The quality of this intercooler is INSANE. Perfect welds, feeling fkn SOLID

Sexy. As. Hell. (Can Hell be sexy?)

This is exactly why I love guys like Wagner. The quality is of their products is just undeniable. Wagner, ER, Mishimoto, etc.

Perfect way to describe it

I love high quality products. Really shows how much detail to attention the companies have.

Makes me wish I sprung for a super nice FMIC like Wagner

My VRSF is good quality and works well, but it sure as hell ain't that good looking (or performing, probably).

Given it gets covered up by the bumper cover, I am fine with mine looking less sexy and will also be doing VRSF (pending people actually hear back from them)

Yah, but it's always cool (and intimidating) to see a turbo car with a snazzy FMIC peeking through the front fascia.

BunkerJ · 09-14-2018, 01:39 PM

I mean, the looks of the FMIC isn't just pure aesthetics. I don't want an FMIC that looks like they picked up some dude off the street to weld it.

Well, I'm not going to label any specific FMIC here but that is generally the case. Again, not all cheap ones are bad. All I want is clean welds that will hold up over time and from the pressure, as well as knowing that QA ensured there were no leaks. I've seen a popular brand get leak tested and had about 8-10 leak spots.

just do a search on the forums and you'll find many other negative threads and posts about their products, not just fmic.

From personal experience, the VRSF FMIC is good aside from the tab fitment issue. It performs well and the welds, on mine at least, were actually quite good. Better than the one pictured in that thread. The FMIC is VRSF's best offering. I would recommend it, especially for the price, but for now I won't be recommended any VRSF gear just based on principle and how they've been handling themselves as a company.

The big issues are with their DP and CPs.

I'll second this. The VRSF 5' HD is a very good deal for the price..It's just not a direct bolt in affair, you'll have to cut or bend the tabs to get it to fit properly. Other then that it works great I've had mine installed for about 6k miles so far with no problems.

Don't even consider their chargepipes or downpipes unless you enjoy fitment issues and lost downtime.

Agreed. Iny opinion their QA has been incredibly lackluster as of late. If i could do it over again I'd spend a few more bucks...
