Wagner FMIC

I am in the market for an FMIC, I was looking at ER and Wagner. I am leaning towards the Wagner, as it is cheaper and fits with no modification. Folks who have the Wagner FMIC, how are your experiences with it. Also I was looking to install the ER charge pipe, will I have a fitment issues between Wagner FMIC and ER charge pipe.

Thanks,
Jake.

I have ER ic with ER charge pipe, and happy with the product. Never had issue. People have fitment problem with ER cp with different FMIC, but as I remember someone here asked them to send a long silicone hump hoses and that worked.
If you have planning to upgrade your turbos and do some crazy numbers, you can also check AD Engineering FMIC 1000+WHP version. That looks fantastic.

Thanks for the input, although I am not going to track the car. Just was looking to run the cobb stage 2.

we had to cut and modify the IC piping. it needed to be at a different angle than the 335/135 N54. Other than that, no trimming or cutting of the bumper needed.

if thats the case, just get the VRSF. its bigger than the wagner and cheaper. if you're not going to track it, the VRSF is great for street use.
