Yes, there seems to be more and more FI installs ! I am very happy with the ease of install even in a vert with the extra bracing.

So is it a big difference in power? and do you have to go WOT to feel it kick in?

You can feel the difference throughout the envelope. Even on highway with bypass there is still intake air being pushed so the mileage seem to be better. It is just having the power make you want to use it.

The install quotes range from $500 to $700. You can install yourself even a shade tree mechanic like me.
I choose the IPF kit because of fit and I really wasn't interested in tracking my car all the time. The kit is great.
I have seen the RX and this kit seemed more destined for people that want to track their car and make significant changes to the car. The fit was just not as clean as the IPF.
I am glad I went with the IPF, the only issue I have is the tune of the Bosch ECM. This has required quite a bit of tweaking but I kind of knew this going in. In fact I haven't heard of anyone stating they have an oem type tune after installing any of these kits. I'm pretty close but not quite there.

With the RX they are coming out or already have different wheel to generate more boost. I am not looking for more that I have. Off the line it is really quick. I am still working the tune so I think I will actually be getting better soon.

Its a blast, mine is a 6 spd and launches hard, but my 60 ft times stink, If I can get traction I would be in the 12's with my trap speed.

I can only tell you I preferred the IPF. I think it's a more mature kit. I don't think you can go wrong with the IPF.
