jaje, I'm surprised that you said it's still no ITR, because SCC tested the MSP and said it dethrone the ITR in handling.
Does your friend have SR20...I know when most people install them they get a bigger IC, usually front mount, among other bolt-ons...The MINIs Intercooler doesnt look to useful either...
