First of all, when everything came (awesome quality), I rushed outside and took off the bumper as fast as possible. Then I stuck the PS cooling line behind that one support and shoved the core up there to see how it fit. It was all screwed over. The support that it bolted to was messed up so I had to beat the living hell out of it and bend the crap out of the PS cooling line. Finally got all of its 3.5" deep glory to fit up after like 5 hours of screwing around. Well enough talk, here's some pics. I'll get up some more piping shots and completed shots tomorrow.

Everthing layed out. Bling bling :cool:

Hmmm...your upper piping has way more bends then mine does...I have the VP kit...but atleast you didn't have to modify 5/7 pieces of the piping...plus...wow yours got some bling bling factor too...with that polished stainless steal

thats what i was goin for... :)
 
Kinda ran into some technical difficulties with fitting up the licp to the j-pipe off of my 16g (prostreet said it could be done without much trouble). Had to modify it a little bit. Cut off the flange and turned the pipe practically backwards to kinda match where a 20g outlet would be. Then cut out a section of the j-pipe to keep it from hitting stuff. It's at my friend's to be welded right now. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

My vp kit kicks bootie. No problems installing it at all. Back on topic, the prostreet fmic is a very nice piece. Looks great!
 
i got the greddy big 24 row on my car, and the Turbo J pipe on my 19C connects to the left side of the intercooler. wouldnt it make sense to connect it to the right side? so theres less distance to travel, that way the exit IC piping that goes to the throttle body doesnt have to wrap all the fuggin way around t he engine bay. I seriously think greddy had their thumbs up their azz when they made it.

JEALOUS....and you do need that big...and i do not have cooling problems anymore...also I paid so much less then you...for my kit then yours...let me tell you..
 
Ok..can anyone with this IC shoot some pics from underneath hte car with the FMIC mounted? I wouldl ike to se eho wits done on the underside since I seem to have made something wrong with my install..Would like to se how yours look..especially if you have Big16G turbos and Jpipe

Thats a Spearco 2-216 just 8.9" tall vs. 10" tall. (still 28 long 3.5 thick) I had them make it a little shorter so I could keep my re-bar easily and still fit the cooler with room to spare. I made my own intercooler pipes as well. I dont like to pay other people to do things I can do myself. My turbo setup is nobody's kit, it's all parts I ordered myself, my own combination, my setup. I have a little different exhaust wheel than standard 50trim kits etc. I also ported all my own housings myself by hand. I even built my own downpipe and exhaust. I guess I just prefer to do everything myself. Then I know exactly how it was built and nothing was compromised.
