ill piggyback on this post to avoid cluttering the forum, hope you dont mind OP. My 7" VRSF FMIC went in yesterday without a hitch, my mechanic said that the trimming was fairly modest, and fitment was very good. there does seem to be a small (1" maybe) gap between the top of the IC and the radiator, im not sure what to make of it but ive seen a similar gap on other cars, and it certaibly looks properly seated. Id agree with whats been said, the power gains arent apparent until 4-5k revs, but the engine feels much smoother and repeated pulls felt very strong on the butt dyno. For the price VRSF cant be beat. Bad news is one of my o2 sensors ate it, so thatll need to be replaced, at least its cheap and wont damage the car while faulty (its the cat check o2).
