For those who want a fmic with Big T28.

[2GturboTALON]

Searching around i found a lot of threads with people trying to figure out how to connect the T25/t28 outlet to the driver side of their fmic. Well i noticed on dejon that they have a pipe already premade to allow such an installation. Only question is if it goes over or under the cross member. Im looking at Fmic for my T28 now and decided id post this for anyone else attempting this project.

www.extremeturbosystems.com has a similar pipe, I use it with the XS/SSAC on my car with the stock T25.

Only question is if it goes over or under the cross member.

And it goes over the crossmember, you have to cut one of the driver side fan supports. You'll see what you need to cut after you try to put the pipe in there.

Interesting.

Has anyone took off the compressor housing, cut it right before the 90degree outlet, and then just turn it 180 degrees and re-weld it so the compressor outlet would be facing the drivers side?

If anyone has, please post some pictures!!!

Thats exactly what I did. Just gut the 90 degree elbow off, turned it around, and rewelded it to point the 90 degree elbow towards the drivers side.

Got any pictures. I am wondering how close it would come to the water pipe and exhaust or anything else in that area. Thank you!

i will get some pictures tonight for ya. I didn't have any problems with it though. the hardest part was getting the weld to penetrate the metal. I just laid the weld on to make sure there wasn't any small pin holes i messed. Turned out pretty good though.

SWEET, Thanks. No real rush for the picture.

I like the idea of the pipe posted in the first pic as it would make everything easier, but i rather eliminate that extra pipe. I try to do everything possable to decrease turbo lag and also to prevent blowing I/C pipes.

I had mine done by Forced Performance when I ordered it. They sent me the picture below. I had them re-cut it and extend it 2 inches.

what i did on my t28 was I cut the 90 bend right in half turned the piece i cut and it was shooting straight down then rewelded it on. then i used a 90 silicone reducer that went to 2.5in then stright to the intercooler. sorry i dont have any pics. i sold the turbo.

Guess I won't be taking that T28 off your hands after all.

over or under the cross member.

Over. That's a sharp 90º, it fits. Also, you need only trim the fan.
