[RESOLVED] FMIC debate

AWDTSIer · 08-21-2008, 04:10 PM

I am debating on getting a fmic for my 1Gb, but will my abs interfere with the piping? It is a direct bolt on kit. If anything, how would i eliminate the abs box? It is basically taking up space because it doesnt even work.

IIRC the extreme intercoolers kit does not interfere with the abs.

The kit im looking into is the Punishment Racing kit, just wasnt sure if it would clear the abs box.

Email them and ask, they are usually quick to get back to you. ABS removal isn't too hard though, just need to go to a junkyard and grab the front lines and prop valve off a non abs car. I went overboard though, removing everything from it, right down to the little fuse box on the battery, I swapped for a non abs one.

Get the punishment racing kit. It's on sale now. The ABS just needs to be shifted, no big deal. The only big part of installing this intercooler was cutting the crash beam and fitment issues with my O2 dump.

Ok, Thanx guys! Well my car had a frontmount installed on it once already but the owner before me removed all the goodies and sold the shell.
