I was gonna go with the 27Won but they never seem to have any in stock. I will most likely be going with Mishimoto personally. Not for any real reason other than the fact I like the way it looks

I'm gonna buy a Burger Tuning one for $299 when I swap out my grill, figure might as well do both at the same time since I have to pull the front clip and belly pan off.

Just wait for the 27WON unit to be in stock. You won’t be disappointed. Every manufacturer from nearly every industry is dealing with raw material shortages so it’s not surprising when good components from high quality companies are out of stock or backordered.

Greddy fin and tube intercooler for CARB EO if you plan on keeping the car well into 2035. Every other brand with bar and plate intercooler.

My recommendation is based on smog checks when it’s time and if you plan on keep the car for a long time.

Wagner is also a great option.

I have PRL because back then it was just them and mishi, and the cost of PRL IC + charge pipes was the same as mishi IC by itself.

Also of all the brands available now, the PRL stencil looks the coolest lol (sorry 27won!)

I have an Injen intercooler with Injen intercooler charge pipes. They worked well for me.

For the 1.5T I think your top tier options are PRL, 27Won, and Mishimoto. Can't go wrong with any of those.

Wait for the 27won, it’s hella worth it.

I waited and waited for the 27won to come back in stock, and when it did, I ordered it asap

Was well worth the wait, my IAT temps are much lower and pulls so much better tbh,
