Fantasticly Made Top mount Intercooler
The ETS TMIC is a very well built unit. It better be, as it's almost $200 more than the other options out there, such as the CP-E. Living in Florida, and not wanting to go front mount, I wanted to give my car the best cooling advantage I could. As expected, it does heat soak when the car sits stationary. But I guess the question is how much does this matter? In stop go traffic, really low Boost Temps aren't necessary, as you're able to get on the throttle much anyways. If you need it, it's just a short burst. Out on the open road, this thing is fantastic! It flows and cools very well. I love how the shroud mates up to the stock flange under the hood to maximize the cooling effect. As many will point out, if you're looking to go for extreme power, Front Mount is almost a must. But for someone who is just putting on a few bolt ons, or even going to a moderate turbo upgrade, this ETS really keeps up.

IT TORQUES TO YOU
Really impressed with the performance of the ETS TMIC, immediately noticed the increased torque in the low RPM range. Turbo spool time is about the same as with the stock TMIC but boost hits harder. Off boost acceleration feels much lighter and smoother, great for those who want daily drivability. Highly recommend this product, great quality and looks aggressive under the hood(got mine in black). Thanks very much EdgeAutosport and ETS!

ETS TOP MOUNT
I've been on the ms3 forum an heard a lot of good about this top mount. Multiple people recommended it. So I purchased it, install was quiet easy. Maybe 15 minutes. Welds are solid, fits perfect. Looks great in the engine bay. Performance, felt it instantly. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to upgrade the stock intercooler.

I have had this product long enough now to agree that it is a very good alternative to the FMIC, however, as have been reported you will get heat soak if you sit too long at a stop light. Moreover, I have found a difference in temperature doing summer versus winter months. Nevertheless, unless you plan on adding extreme horse power or racing this will be a decent buy from my prospective. But I have learned the rule of thumb in buying, that is, if you can afford the FMIC then buy it and most importantly take edgeautosport’s advice “Before you start: Goals and Patience”.
