too small? should i slap it on? or should i just sell it? its big enought to fill the front bumper. and itll only be used on the T25, unless later on i get a 14b.

thats a little small but its just right for me! ill pm you

 

[tlikethedrink]

i plan to use it just for a dd too.

Looks about like the one I put on my dads stealth, and my storm, it worked pretty good but i didnt ever go above 16psi, it stayed pretty cool when i felt it after driveing hard for a while. It all depends on how much power and PSI you plan on pushing.

 

[tlikethedrink]

well -15 psi.
top power... whatever i can get out of it. i should have 2.5inch cat+back exhaust, this FMIC + custom pipe, and the boost up'd to about 13-14psi. i dont know what kinda numbers i would be working with, but thats about all the "big" things... i would like to hit 200-225whp

Sounds to me like it will work just fine for you. The one I have is good up to 30 PSI, it says.

Seems like its perfect for a t-25 or 14b with what boost you want to run.

 

[meliketoball]

I'd get it for a 14b or t-25.

 

[HighBoostLaser]

Yes at least get the 14b or a 16g.

Doable on the stock 2g SMIC in my opinion, but that FMIC will work as well obviously.

 

[dsmsucks]

I have the same intercooler. It works fine for me at 17psi with the 14b

 

[92AWDHX40]

I have that fmic how about with a evo.

 

[tlikethedrink]

well i already have it.

i know the numbers im shooting for a well within reach with the stock side mount, if i were to use hard ic pipes.

i figured since i wanted a fmic setup and need new piping anyways might as well go with it. plus all n all i think ill have it all goin for about the price of some hard pipes.

if/when my t25 craps out... then i plan on a 14b, unless i come across a good deal on another turbo.

Good luck and good thinking ahead. It will be fine. Cops will find you more attractive with a bigger one anyway.

 

[tlikethedrink]

nah cops round here dont bother me much.... knock on wood. plus this core fills the mouth of the bumper anyways...
