FMIC install ?'s

[FASTSPOOLINGST]

I was test fitting my FMIC prior to the actual install. I found a couple problems i might have and would like to know what you guys with FMIC's did on yours.

First problem i encountered was the LICP. I see there is not much room down there between the radiator and my external dump tube. I can fit the pipe down there, but it's tight. The turbo outlet is 2 inches in diameter and my pipes are 2.5"

Did you guys use a 2-2.5" silicone connector on this, or just a 2.5"? I can't seem to get my 2.5" to work on it, is there a trick to it or something if that is what i'm supposed to use?

Next thing was that I was going to run a GM MAF in my UICP, but i see now that the damn ABS proportion valve is in my way. It seems to be in the way anyways. Does anyone have a Blowthrough set up with ABS still on their car? if so can u link to, or post a pic of your engine bay so i can check it out. I currently have 2.5-3" camel hump connectors and they seem like there no way in hell they are going to work. It might be tight with just regular 2.5-3" connectors, but would like to know for sure, prior to ordering them.

Thanks in advance.

use a 2" - 2.5" coupler. use silicone spray or something like that to slip it on.

from the abs unit to the throttle body, there should be enough room to do what you want with the maft.

thank you.

thanks for the pic man, it seems there is no way in hell i am going to be able to use my camel hump connectors. I am going to have to order the 2.5-3" connectors that are straight to get it to fit. I see that you are using a SMIC too. I have FMIC and my pipe comes more at a downward angle to get to the front of the car. The one ABS brake line at the front of the prop. valve is a PITA. It sticks out like 2"s.
