best mod yet

[MSP#735]

what they said!!!!

[atticus1398]

why? whats wrong with it?

[Vampyre]

i luv my aftermarket smic. still think it was the best thing i put on

[jersey_emt]

SMIC = much smoother power delivery, *much* less heatsoak, and a couple of extra horses, all for very little money and a simple install (compared to an FMIC)

[CChris704]

hmm i was wondering the same thing compared to a FMIC which just looks cooler.

[geomatics_tech]

I loves my turbohoses smic. Best mod so far.

[ChopstickHero]

that is why i'm planning on getting the Turbohoses SMIC soon.... :)

[Ryoga28]

Turbohoses smic plus hardpipes and Injen Intake are the best mods I have ever done.

[31R]

Turbohoses just made a new short ram intake. They used my car to create and test fit. Took them like half a day to make it. They made sure there were no issue with fitement with hard pipes. Good looking stuff, look out for it in a few weeks.

My car was one of the test mules for his SMIC. I thoroughly enjoyed the time it was on my car :)

CustomMSP's SMIC doesn't fit perfectly, but has a bigger core. Turbohoses is a perfect fit and more expensive.

[atticus1398]

thats what i have:
turbohoses pipes
customs smic

Could you elaborate on where the fitment isn't perfect?

[atticus1398]

dual set up. stock bpv + greddy = no stalling/no turkey

[hoindawall]

its not really cheaper than going with a fmic, it depends what you are going to get. for example if you were to get the turbohoses smic + hardpipes it would actually come out more expensive than the begi or hiboost fmic kits. although the dsm pipes and custom's smic would indeed be cheaper.

anyway i had the turbohoses smic and hardpipes on my car, the performance was great, but fitment was kind of an issue. the holes on the ic didnt line up with the bolts so the fan was just a little crooked. the ic -> tb pipe would also rub against my battery

[Ryoga28]

About the turbohoses smic fitment, my mechanic needed to bend the fan bracket a bit in order to get it to sit flush. It was nothing major.

[mspHtown]

i thought custommsp fixed the fitment issues because of a thread spicynamja started

[MSP#735]

i am running CIrcuit Sports SMIC fitment is PERFECT!! great mod!

Anybody know the size of the clamps for the Turbohose hard pipes. I bought them used and im missing some clamps. I dont know which size to get on their website.

just give hoover a call@ turbohoses 925-803-1555,he will tell you what you need,and he will probaly have it in stock.



make sure you guys check out turbohoses new SRI

[wicked]

as far as fitment goes on turbohoses SMIC,hoover spent a hell of a lot of time on it,he has installed it on my car numerous times.and also has tested the fitmant on other peoples MSP's.

he payed a lot of attention to detail,testing with factory pipes,and with his own.



there is nun-better

I agree. Mine fit perfectly. I don't see how anyone could think there was any problem with fit.

[Professor MSP]

The Turbohoses SMIC and hardpipes fit perfectly in my car and in **********'s. It is as if the car came from the factory with them, that is how well the combination is designed.

The performance gain is quite noticable. My car pulled significantly harder from approximately 3500 rpms until redline. Moreover, the "pulse" in the power delivery that occured at approximately 4500 rpms was reduced considerably. I have not experienced heat soak either, which is noteworthy seeing as I live in Florida!

I'd buy the combination again if I was starting all over.

[wicked]

match it with their intake,and you won't have any turkey either.

[ChopstickHero]

when i get off work today, i'll go measure the clamps.

at a closed position, so the tightest it can go, it is about 2.25", remember, these can be expanded to a much larger diameter, so just don't get something too small.. like 2"

[wicked]

just call hoover,and get clamps from him,they are the same ones that come with the pipes

1-925-803-1555

[wicked]

just don't use some hardwarestore clamp,they are to narrow and will cut into the silicone,and they cannot clamp enough.

[ChopstickHero]

werd, my turbohoses clamps are thick stainless steel ones. they are very rigid and can be tightened alot. but if you are really into buying some clamps, get those t-bolt clamps that have constant torque on them so they never loosen.

[wicked]

don't put the T-bolts on the factory intercooler,hoover@ turbohoses was origanally going to offer it with T-bolts,then realized that it wouldn't take much effort to crack,or crush the factory intercooler.

yeah sorry... i meant on an aftermarket intercooler. the plastic ones would crack so easily.

[RenzoMSP]

I installed my smic & turbohose hard pipes today. All i got to say its awsome. The Forge BOV actually sound really cool.(headbang) I also used the clamps from turbohoses. Dont use cheap one they break!
