FMIC efficiency is all about charge temps & pressure drops. Do a search read up on it,Harvey can talk for hours about it he's tested most & Hybrid is the best by miles for that sort of money. The real cheap ones just don't work properly.

O god, here we go again

Sorry it gets asked loads mate lol

Simply put its all about fluid dynamics. The interior quality of the intercooler is the most important thing, cheap ones tend to have poor airflow internaly which can stall airflows going into the engine. They can also be poorer material, welds etc and some actualy balloon when you load them up.
