just installed today
this being my first FMIC install it took me 4 hours but if i do another 1 it will be half the time.
very easy install a couple of moving things suck as the power steering cooler and cutting 2 tabs off the inside of the bumper.
from wat i have seen and looked into this is the only kit that works with a CAI.
if anyone wants to see it i'll be at the next la paloma meet
any questions i will answer no prob
sorry no pics i got to get someone to take good ones

yup its noticeable and the best part very little to no added turbo lag but i do need a second opinion on that one

Ah. I've always loved the look of a FMIC. Personally, for myself, I doubt I'd get one. I'd rather get a larger TMIC. But that is still at least a year off. I still need my exhaust!

very interesting, can't wait to see them damned :pics so performance-wise w/ our stock turbo, was it worth it? also, did you do this to prepare for... ohhhhh i dunno, a big turbo u/g?

performance wise yes i think it was worth it from wat little driving i did today
im just happy that the turbo lag my buddy with a STi was talking about is not there
and as for the bigger turbo i'll have to see wat my money situation is in a couple years if i got enough it will be my toy car and i can buy a daily driver to

I love FMIC as well. It would be cool if you have this on your car. I love the ARC letters on it.
