Do I Need a new pipe with fm?

[Insearchofatsi]

I want to weld my bov into my upper intercooler piping but I have a sidemount stock intercooler. If i get a front mount will i need to get a new uicp? Or can i just keep that and get the lower one...thanks sorry this may be a dumb question

More than likely you'll want to leave it be with bolts and a gasket. A FMIC is rarely used with aftermarket IC piping for the SMIC, much less stock piping. Generally you want the shortest route to your TB and the stock piping doesn't do that at all.

many fmic kits come with piping that routes to your stock locations... so you can reuse your aftermarket UIP and LIP... greddy and apexi both do this along with many others...

I'm not a fan of the Greddy kit for the sheer reason that it's got too much piping. You can get a nice top to bottom core from DSMotorsport for 550 and then have short piping made at a local shop.
