if you have a camera post pics of the piping, we can probably figure it out

MAM's setup is similar to that on the driver's side, but the passenger's side gets WAY low... you'll probably hit it on curbs.... looks dangerous

yeah ur right i thought that 2 but theres no holes or any other way to go.
maybe. does msp or mp3 or even mp5's have a hole in the bumper support area?, i guess i can cut one out.

I'd say that you are gonna need to cut. I'm not for sure but that is what it looks like.

this kit is supposed to be bolt on but im doing more modifing and improvising.
I also think this kit is to be used with stock air box. Ill get out my stock air box and piping to find out, I had aem cold air b4 all this.

oh do I have to install some type of engine management or piggy back on this setup, kit is only designed for 6 psi. included in this kit was a apex afc2.
is this necesary? i understand that a little more fuel is needed, but isnt this solved by the fuel pressure reg?

the mp5 doesnt have a hole there i had to cut out some othe metal on both sides of my intercooler to run the pipping. its not a big deal just get a sawzall or a grinder and have some fun

just to revive an OLD thread...
did you have to cut through the front end after all??

And how did the DP fit? Lil Freek's kit's not agreeing with us.
