VRSF FMIC J pipe question

[Jacolu3]

Im thinking about getting VRSF FMIC for my 2g dsm. Was going thru the order process and it asks if I need a J pipe for an additional amount of money. Is this just for an aftermarket turbo or do you need it with any turbo? I'm currently using the stock t25 turbo right.
So I guess long story short is do I need to purchase the j pipe with the intercooler for a stock t25 turbo?
Thanks

I'm getting the fp 68 and was wondering if the vrsf intercooler kit would work and not get the jpipe from then instead order it from ets. Thanks

... VRSF doesn't make the kit. They order it from china, mark it up, and sell it to you. You can purchase the same kit VRSF sells, INCLUDING J-PIPE, for $180-$200 on eBay.

Punishment does the same thing, but CX Racing(Who they buy it from) actually have a better design on a few things compared to the general eBay stuff VRSF sells.


If you want absolute quality, fitment, and unbeatable cooling properties, give ETS a look. It's pricey, but worth it. Unless you're sticking with a t25-16G range turbo, in which case nevermind.

It's the exact same kit. They just order couplers and clamps from siliconeintake.com for pennies and include them in the kit. Recently they weld on a "screw on flange" for BOVs that always seem to leak. Fitment is identical, VRSF just pre-slots the tabs on the core itself.


Overall, I'll just buy a BOV flange adapter myself for $40( or get a local who TIG welds like a boss, and get him to weld one on for free) and order the exact same clamps and couplers from siliconeintakes for another $30, and still save over $100. And I won't be supporting a company that self-admittedly hates DSMs and their owners.

Pretty much wraps it up, like Cracked said, save your self some money.

ok just to make sure before i put in my order. i just want to clear up some things. I'm going to buy the vrsf intercooler kit without the their jpipe. now if i order the ets j pipe the one in the link will this work with the vrsf kit and do i have to do any modifications to the pipe or would it just work like the vrsf j pipe.

Also when installing the vrsf kit i know you lose the fog lights and what does it require to be cut or taken off?

Thank you
