Default procharger fmic or lonnies dbl pumper?

With income tax rolling in I can knock off a big part on my list between the lonnies/racetronix dbl pumper setup around 1500 or the procharger fmic for around that price. I'm gonna need both anyway but what would you buy?

although i have the ati fmic, im not sure i would pay for it outside of buying it with the kit. id do the ebay fmic later on. but if i were you id get the double pumper in there first. the ati is def a nice piece though. i dont know enough about intercoolers to know if the price justifies it tho. not like its a2w where you control your own atmosphere.

Are you running a single walbro pump now? Are you planning on running more boost. I guess I'd lean toward the double pumper setup, but if you are not planning on running more boost then your fuel need isn't going to change much so go FMIC if getting adequate fueling.

I purchased a universal 3" powder coated black intercooler piping kit and a eBay intercooler for like 200 bucks. You will have to do some cutting of the pipping and some fabricating to mount the intercooler. I just used the pro chargers fmic schematics as a guide and went from there to more or less copy it.

Do both setups yourself man. The lonnies kit is a rip off if you ask me I did the double pump myself for 200 bucks. If you take your time doing it you will have no problems pm me if you need an insite for it. Also same deal for the FMIC eBay the whole kit 300 bucks to your door and get some pics of how other guys ran there piping. It's not to hard of a job

the ATI IC dwarfs the Cx racing model in size and cooling capability. Yeah it is expensive and the Cx is a better deal and will easily suffice. Id say the worst thing about the ATI is how much it weighs.

huh? CX sells ALL kinds of sizes. Also theirs a thread on here of a guys $1000 PRO IC blowing up [split a weld...all the way across the seam ...low boost, mild setup...] and he wanted PRO to fix it, he did not even ask for a replacement, they told him he was SOL ...$1000 *race* IC ...LOL!!!!

setup made like 5xx-6xx WAY under the units suggested range....

-whats todays lesson kids....Procharger...only good for 1 time sell head units and parts i.e. pulleys, brackets, ect. After that your SOL.

The cx x4 was like 150 I think and their piping was about another 100. Still a lot cheaper then the procharger unit.
