dont go with greddy front mount. its overpriced and the piping is overly long/ a bad design. your turbo will take longer to spool with it.

apex is a better designand has stronger fins but is pretty expensive as well. ebay ones are most likely fine just make sure the core is as thick as possible

Hey again,

Out the Apexi i/c kits, and the Dsm intercooler kit witch one do you guys think is better, and which one would link up with a Greddy BOV the best? or will they both? sorry for the dumb question but some mods have to use the same brand part or it wont work right.

you can use any bov with any ic it doesnt matter. is your bov still attached to the stock black plastic piping? if so you should get a metal pipe and have a flange welded on that pipe is the most restrictive piece in your intake system and replacing it will make a huge difference by itself
