Its a pain in the **** danny basically. Apparently by the time you do all the piping etc, it works out about £500 for a fmic. So you save about £700 but its a lot of work.
I know a company that will start making cutom FMICs. They are in the process of testing the first one i believe and if it pulls off, should be about £600 - £650.
Core is meant to be as good as the HKS one
Ive told 3 people about it and 3 people want it. Could be a group buy

Bigger isn't always better. "Core" design is VERY important though. Cores vary in price not only depending on size, but design. I've seen cores of a similar size, ranging from £150, to over £1000.
"Secondhand" pipe work ! well I guess you find the odd set from a damaged car.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?
Ive got to agree with mark on this, and I think he knows a thing or two about intercooler cores

I've been toying with the idea of making my own FMIC using an intercooler from one of the big 4x4's (Shogun, range rover, etc). I can fabricate the pipework using alloy or stainless easy enough but wanted to know if there's anything I should know about the intercooler.
Am i right to assume the bigger the better?
Is there something I'm forgetting as I can't understand why more people don't do it and save themselves a grand?
