FMIC question

[co53185]

I am in the market for an FMIC as well. I found this one.
Has anyone bought from this site before?
Does this kit look legit?

From the looks of it, the hot side does not look long enough. The cold side may work, but forget about changing out your bov type or relocating the MAF without cutting into the already-welded pipe. The angle of the cold pipe just doesn't look right to me either, it looks like it is turned more upward than what it should be unless they expect you to use the area where the SMIC is to stick the pipe through, but that still wouldn't allow for the length of the FMIC unless the bumper beam is removed.

I'm waiting on my AMM renewal (paid, just waiting), otherwise I'd suggest a little something. (sssh)

Also by looking at the hot side, if it is long enough, it looks to go to a turbo that is pointed downward. The stock MSP turbo is pointing upward, so that's where I'm getting the thought that the piping isn't long enough to work for that.

If you talking about this one, It won't work as is with the turbo as is:
The turbo exits out of the top as is as you can see in the pic you would need extra couplers and piping to get to the top.

If your trying to stay in that price range, check out this Altered customs, she's running a sale right now

LOL @ Jen. I was looking for your site and fixing links as you posted!!! LOL

[co53185]

sounds good. thanks for the input. can altered customs do a welded bov flange?

[Metallic36]

Yup, it's all on the website on the Purchase page. The thing I love about the bov flange pipes is that they are easy to switch out, require just couplers to connect them to the piping, so this allows you to easily switch out to a different bov if you get tired of one :)
