i have a 16g evo 3 manifold ported torbos ported and the machv stainless 02 housing 3 inch turbo back intake upper and lower IC pipes how much more can the stock IC hold for??
 
I'd upgrade as soon as possible... It would be better for your performance out of that EVO 16G
 
Do alot of research... But people always said they loved the Greddy Big FMIC. I got the Apexi front mount and I love it. But search for everyone's opinoins and goals, then compare them with your goals.
 
your stock ic will do fine. if you feel the need to, get a supra smic.

fmic on a 16g is overkill IMO.
 
depends on how much boost. 16gs have gone into the high 11s and consistant 12s. Stock intercooler won't handle more than 17 psi on a 16g. I'd upgrade to a greddy kit and turn the boost up to around 20.

Interesting, considering everyone who is trying to make serious power calls that thing a piece of shit (GReddy FMIC).

If you have your heart set on an FMIC, I'd go with a smaller spearco for the 16G. You could also go with a supra sidemount.
 
You can find the MKIV Supra sidemount on DSMTrader, and eBay. They mostly sell for about 100-150 but require a little modification to work. IMO= In my opinion. I think :confused:
 
or you can go to www.supraforums.com i bought injectors from there for my car, supra guys are nice guys when u wanna buy stuff off them. but not when you wanna race

Interesting, considering most people that bash the Greddy dont have one. I suggest going with a SMIC with a 16g, to keep the sleeper appearance.
