J pipe still needed wtih FMIC kit?

[95GST2841]

is an aftermarket J pipe still needed if I were to convert to a evo3 16g and run it through a FMIC.

Or does a J pipe just run to the waste gate and then the waste gate to the FMIC?

can somebody explain the whole piping deal to me, I am a huge newb and very eager to learn.


A waste gate regulates how much pressure exits your turbo and limits it to a certain amount correct? thats why a mbc is ran right off of a wastegate? So after the waste gate it would lead to the FMIC, meaning I would still need a J pipe. Did I just answer my own question ?

would a aftermarket wastegate ever be needed?

A j-pipe has nothing to do with the wastegate other than to sometimes have a pressure fitting that to control the wastegate. The j-pipe connects a top exit style (14b, 16g) turbo to an FMIC with plumbing routed for downward clocked (T25/28, 20g, 50trim) turbo. So your 2g (t25 style) would need a j-pipe to connect to your stock smic. FMIC plumbing varies, so that is more case by case. Here is some reading to help clear up some of your confusion.http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/turbo_tech101.html
