You can for sure. Some people use the Garrett core when running a T-Trim. If you would just like the same core that comes with the kit that is possible too. Give me a call or shoot me a PM if you want some pricing.

whats the difference in the core? and its a v2 non rev kit i dont know what the t-trim means (first time going FI) would it mater if i got a universal fmic as long as the two inlets match up the same length. .

"600HP Garrett high density/high efficiency bar and plate intercooler with ATP cast end tanks. 24" Wide - 10.5" Tall - 3.0" Thickness. 2.5" inlet and outlet hose connections. "

T-Trim is just a higher flow supercharger, you would be fine with Vortech supplied IC. They are around $400

There are a few generic I/C out there with a 22x8x3.5 core. This is simple going to be approx 2" longer than stock I/C. you can get CXRacing ones which sells on ebay for pretty cheap. Treadstone's TR8 is probably also a generic one, but they do sell a 24x8x3.5 I/C, which will probably fit if you just cut the pipes down an inch or two on each side. I've been considering the TR8 myself.

Treadstone is cost effective as well. We sell Treadstone and will give you a bit off if you call in the order. Support a vendor

look on my350z.com FI section

the resident vortech guru (oldman350z) has a thread about a new fmic he is using with the results. Search for his name or look in FI for his thread with pics.

I think it was a very good priced intercooler also.

If you are running a stock Vortech tuner or full kit, the Vortech FMIC is more than adequate for your needs.
