I think they have 'thinned it' so there isn't as much of a pressure drop over the cooler. But I can't remember how thick mine was...

the process west one you got, is it tube and fin? I saw where they now do a T & F option?

Im thinkking of getting a FMIC sometime in the next 6 months. considering the HKS Type R kit cause its a bit thicker, with the same surface area. But, at $2900 its pretty steep!

So, am considering cheaper options. Possibly Plasmaman or PWR core and custom piping or the Process West Coolers.

Can you tell me, one side of the piping is smaller than the other isnt it, which side again? Large turbo to cooler and small cooler to engine?

What are the Process ones worth? Assuming you need the intake piping as well?

The Process West FMIC is bar and plate, I believe this will be more resistant to hits from bugs, rocks etc.

The piping after the turbo is smaller, gets larger after it has passed through the intercooler core, the set-up is very neat and most of the pipes are hidden.

Very happy with it, car goes great now, I also set-up the intercooler water spray from the TMIC to the FMIC.
