[btodd]

I'm looking for piping for my fmic. I found this on ebay:

Will this work for an FMIC?

Depends on how your FMIC is routed. The pipes look like they'll definitely work from the throttle body to the front mount, but if the outlet from the turbo to the intercooler is on the opposite side of the front mount then it's gonna be a bi***. If the outlets on the intercooler are on the same side you might have to get custom pipes for the lower ic piping. Go to a muffler shop for the cheap prices and buy some silicone adapters to fit on to the outlets if you go w/2 1/2" or 2 1/4" piping. Otherwise they'd just pop off when you get on it.

Thanks for your help. I will check w/ local muffler shops. Just for reference, here is a pic of the FMIC I have.

Nice! Yeah, looks like your def. gonna have to get custom pipes from the turbo outlet to the fmic. It's easy, the muffler shop will give you a hanger and you bend the hanger the way you want your piping bent. Give me your BOV.

heheheh yeah, that was an EXCELLENT deal on ebay. I simply love ebay. I got what you see in the pic for $800!!!

Stainless steel 321SS turbo manifold (gaskets and bolt included)
Super T3/T4 T04E 5-bolt Turbocharger .50 Compressor A/R / .70 Turbine A/R
Polished 24" x 12" x 3" Intercooler

Not a bad deal at all if you ask me.

if you ask my its a horrible deal. The turbocharger is made my XS and is known to shred itself. The manifold is SSautochrome and will crack and break soon. The BOV is a wanna be greddy, the wastegate doesnt look like a true TIAL. And last the intercooler flows horribly and has a large pressure loss.

im sorry to say but he is right. if i was in your position i would try to sell that setup or try to get a refund. those are all knock off parts and they are of low quality. they may work for a bit or so but dont think these parts would outlast your car.

Dang, I'd hate to be in your position. What are you gonna do now? Don't panic though, things will work themselves out.

Some people don't know any better, it's partly there fault for not researching enough but ebay suckers people with seemingly good deals everyday.
