Turbo XS FMIC install

[WhiteSpeed3]

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

[alhope34]

Any noticeable power gains?

[WhiteSpeed3]

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

[alhope34]

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!

all i have to say is its the largest intercooler made for the car and it goes across the whole grill in front on the bumper

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?

[WhiteSpeed3]

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

[WhiteSpeed3]

yup well i wanted the AP but i got an incredable deal on this so i couldnt pass it up

[Kevin@nextmod]

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