How long ago did you get it??

Who are you asking?

If you are asking me about the OBX, I can't honestly answer because I upgraded the turbo the exhaust and the FMIC all at the same time. I can tell you that my intake temps stay very low with the 16g at 13psi (low 70's on the freeway)

[Street_Killer]

Well thats the most important thing. I guess.

No problem! Are you going to try the short route or are you just going to use the pipes as they come and hook it up to your stock IC plastic pipe?

[Mikes2Gen]

Idealy I would like to do the short route, I myself dont have a welder or anything to cut the pipes but a friend of mine agreed to help he has a tig welder at his shop and said he could weld the stuff, ill have to take a look at the kit when it gets here to see how i can go about with the short route mod.

Thanks again

[EVOL_TURBO]

Sounds good! Feel free to pm me should you have any questions. Good luck and have fun!

I'm thinking about getting the SSAC kit for the 2g but for $300 but can't find it anywhere at that price. I heard newdsmman on dsmtalk can do it but I got kicked off for some reason. I think it was because of my grammer at the time. Really stupid. Anyone can help would be great.

I said aw the hell with it and bought a Hahn racecraft SMIC. I am running a Big T28 turbo and couldn't justify the price of a new FMIC and all new intercooler piping. I already have the set of three intercooler pipes from Hahn and liek them and hate to have to swap /sell everything off and install the the new fmic with new intercooler pipes and routing. I got the Hahn SMIC straight from Hahn for $349! Brand new! Bar and plate construction! Should be mor ethan adaquate for the big t28.

i sent newsdsmman a pm on dsmtalk.com and haven't heard anything from him so if any one knows another person or place that can get them send me a pm please....

[97gsx_zeclipse]

Thanks man. He will get back to you within 24 hours. I want to order the 2nd gen SSAC kit too for that price. So if he replies to you, pm me.

[Slow 95 TSI]

newsdsmman's PM box was full on talk.

97gsx_zeclipse send me your e mail addy and I'll send it to Frank and have him mail you.

Another friend on darkboost.net said he can get them for $295.00 shipped

Ok,

I got my intercooler installed, minus the pipes since those are missing. A couple people including myself were curious about the Ebay J-pipe. Very nice piece BTW. Just for reference here is how it fits up:

And as far the the fit of the core. Has anyone been able to mount their's so the bottom row of the core is below the opening of the front fascia? I drilled the holes on the IC tabs on the top part, and with mine the ic is about even with the bottom row of the facia, but it would look better if it was below, with no slight gap as seen here on the left side:

Anyone get their's to mount perfect?

Bet you had fun getting that allen screw in there with the J-pipe curling over top

[rich3389]

People running the OBX kit, how did you get the FMIC to sit level and not crooked like the write up on the OBX kit says it does.
