Well over this weekend I had my Spool Stage 2 FMIC installed on the MSP. It was origonally made for an MP3 turbo upgrade over the Stage 1, so it took a little work to get it in and set.

The cold pipe was a direct replacement fit, but the hot pipe was something that needed lots and lots of work. I only have one quick shot from the front for now until weds when I can get some under the hood shots.

I like it wide open, and Im also removing the license plate, so it'll look crazy when Im coming up behind someone.

Looks good bro. Leave the grille off. It looks better IMO.

if you leave the grille off you can just paint the tabs black and they are hardly noticable. that's what i did with my top tabs since I want the option of putting the grille back in place.

You welded the fmic?? I cant believe someone would actually try to rip an IC off a car. What good would it do them? Some fuckin people just dont make sense. By the way, did you have to cut anything to fit that IC? It looks allot bigger than mine. What kind of BOV are you running?

Yes I had to remove the center section of the bumper support bar and I am running the new Greddy Type RS BOV. Atmospheric set-up with no recirculation and there are no stalling problems at all.

looks nice, but that endtank design doesn't look to effecient. you should get those endtanks redone.

I wish I had the Type S BOV but they dont make it anymore. I would be more than willing to do a trade for a Type S. The RS is loud when it hits, but it hits pretty inconsistantly since Im only running on 6psi right now cause I dont have all silicone and the rubber ones arnt that great.
