Ya I know there are huge threads on this and even one that shows good hp gains. They change them often and the price often so I want to know some stuff. Heres the link:

Ok, so first off anyone with this kit installed can you tell me if it is a directo bolt-on? Does it bolt-on to the tb? Was the install hard? Etc... Stuff like that, any review and information is helpful.

I bought that about three months ago and I love it! I see that your mods list says you have uicp, then it would be a direct bolt on! The pipes only take you to the bottom of the uicp but if you've upgraded then you'll be fine. The mounting brackets didn't really mount up for me so I made my own but maybe it will work for you. What turbo do you have? If its the T-25 you'll need to get a coupler that goes from the 2.5 to 2in because the 2.5in will not fit. Also the T-Bolt clamps kinda pinch the couplers and leak out air so I just got some O-ring clamps and have had no problems with that what so ever. And I had to cut about an inch or two off the inside of the bumper but that was about it. Of course I did cut a bit out of the support to flow better. All in all it only took about three hours to do and thats with all the modding my buddy and I did so Good Luck and I hope this helps.

For less money you can get the proven xs power fmic. That you can get for the "special price" of $295 shipped! I would not pay more for the OBX version. Probably is fine, but everyone who has gotten the xspower one has been very happy with it! It seems to be a direct bolt on, but you just usually need one coupler and two hose clamps as those are usually missing from the box.

Where did you find the xs power fmic cause last I heard they did away with them. I only found WRX tmic's and one at ssautochrome for $600. Have you looked recently?
