m sprank Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Beam protrudes farther than core (it is boxed steel not aluminum, very strong). Would hit beam then core. If it hit core, core can be purchased separate for around $600. If its your fault, well you pay to play. If not, someones insurance buys you a new one. Perrin core has been thoroughly tested also. Not only that, but they are pressure tested to 50psi at the factory (leak test). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bboygreddy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 any updates on this fmic kit? would like to see more reviews before hopping abord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 AFAIK it is not really available. More than a few "Chinese knock off's" available now. Seems like the favorite design to copy is TurboXS. Maybe that is why TurboXS is not developing many new products at this time. They take the time to develope a winner, and 6 months later it is (poorly) copied all over the internet and eBay.

OGHK87Jay Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 They mocked it off my car and no updates. So it will fit the 08-09s that for certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTYTFC Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Currently installing this and it seems that the piping to throttle body is smaller then throttle body intake... can u sleeve it? And also it seems as though my battery will not fit at this point. Did any of you get your battery in or did you have to relocate or get a slimmer battery. As it is now it seems as though the piping goes as low as possible and between battery and engine. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Lmbrandon Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This thread still dead? Came here myself looking for information about this kit working on the 05-07 chasis as well. I went ahead and took the gamble. With a little bit of fabrication it worked great. Fogs had to go, and i went even more custom and rotated a vf43 and got this kit to work anazing with my setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbrawley Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just out of curiosity and I've seen them on STIs, but mine doesn't have it. What is the black fan/pump next to the A/C compressor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Smog pump. Search is your friend. You are light years behind on the evolution of the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 You have a catalytic converter in the up pipe rather than the smog pump. Neither are a great idea. Cats fail into the turbo destroying the turbo, air pump systems seize (solenoids) and are expensive to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
