I have the MAP IC... It does great, I've done auto-x/track day and it is extremely consistent and I am usually within 5 degrees of ambient all the time. I do like and plan to get the DHM crashbar at some point to give my radiator a little more flow.
A lot of people get confused about Intercoolers, they think you need the biggest one possible. Unless your doing a full race build with big turbo and 400+ whp its not really needed. The bigger the IC the more pressure drop and more lag you have. The "smaller" cores are still rated to handle usually 400-500hp. and will work perfect for 99% of us.
So if you want big turbo and 400+ whp then sure go for the DHM big one Otherwise most of the smaller ones will do, and the quality of the MAP IC is great, fits perfect and does the job I ask it to do.
I have installed several Intercoolers for customers at my shop and the only one I wouldn't recommend is the mishimoto. It doesn't fit at all and "bracket" that suppose to make it work doesn't help enough. The "M" logo was painted upside down and the bumper could not be installed correctly because the IC was just way too big to fit with the stock crash bar.
