yeah the k&n always looked like a tight fit with the filter so close to the piping that why i went with aem hope to save some room with the filter being more down into the bumper

but that also means closer to water :/

 

Im 18.5 pounds too gettin down to mid/high 11's by redline

now is that just because the turbo dies at that much psi?? cuz mine pulls 14.5 all the way to redline... im also at 5600ft above sea level....

For some reason I cannot get mine down below 12.5 in the cold weather..I reduced the target boost and lowered my WGDC but it just stays about 12.5..it is boost creep I think...not harmful though.

Thats strange but looking at your numbers i wouldnt complain about it too much;)

dont be too concerned with the water issue and the AEM unless you ford rivers on a regular basis.

 

damn, this thread makes me want to go FMIC. I guess since this costs less than an aftermarket TMIC, I might as well go this route if my TMIC blows up...only to figure out a solution for the foglight thing...

 

can one of you with the foglights not covered take a picture focusing on the fitment around the fogs? I just wanna see how bad the piping gets into the housing, and cant completely tell from the pics i have seen. thanks.

I gotta remove my bumper and line things up better, the IC sits level, but the piping is not correct by where the fog laps were. It looks like I have to shift everything towards the drivers side. The pipe on the passnger side almost sticks out of the foglamp opening, there would be no way for me to install the foglight covers. :(

^ I think he is running like 19.5 at redline..something crazy.

 

Tha is a sweet setup...

Ahh the beauty of external wastegates.

Target boost is 20psi tapering to 19.5 at redline. Holds the boost silky smooth all the way, all while hitting full boost at just 3300rpms!

HAHA! Yea either way I was going to have to redrill holes because the original ones made the plate hang low and blocking some of the front mount. So I finally pulled the trigger and drilled them on the left side.

 

damn... that takes some balls to drill holes in your bumper.... hahaha.. i couldnt do it...

Yea i didnt do it until after the police officer said kindly i need to get my front plate back on;)

 

And yea you have to weld in your own bov flange. I got a stock bov flange from wbr since i already had the GFB bov for like $30
