Default Timing of first oil change, synthetic vs. regular?

According to the tuners I've talked to so far its good for high HP applications and can be used with a gt30r turbo...I'm using it on a GT35R right now. I don't have the core dimensions or CFM flow stats but I'm pretty sure you could find them on NASIOC. The only downside to it is that you have to hack up your front bumper(unlike the aps 725 fmic?) to install it...if you want one a guy on NASIOC I know is selling one for $850 shipped brand new in box. I bought one from him a few weeks ago and am putting it in next weekend...

Oh, you need a shortram intake to fit the kit. A CAI will get in the way...

Well I can get you the TurboXS FMIC however they will not be that cheap, thats well below my own cost, not including shipping! If you're interested, let me know! I can work out a better deal than on the site:

Take a look at the injen fmic. No cutting the bumper and very affordable. The APS would be my choice but it is expensive. Anyway good luck!

the injen fmic looks very tiny, even when it is installed you see gaps everywhere,
