im gonna get the upgraded smic from protege garage, and i was wondering if anyone knows what it would take to mount the turbo xs H-Type 50/50 Hybrid bov on the weaponr hard pipes from protege garage.
Y not just go with a FMIC??

i was gonna go with a front mount but i did some research and the front mount would be more benificial with more boost but they do look awsome im at stock boost

Do you plan on staying at stock boost, or getting a boost controller and ems to up your boost as wanted?? I only ask because I just saw the link from Metallic's signature and they are offering a great deal on a FMIC Kit. Hell, I am thinking about getting it my damned self. Here is the link, check it out. http://www.alteredcustoms.net/
does the flange come with bov's or is that seperate
usually separate.
it also seems like fmic's take alot of work to install u can fill me in on that.
they can be a pain in the ass if you don't know what u r doing. If you r not sure about how to, take it to a performance shop, and they will do it. Otherwise, it's just a matter of getting the core to mount up to the bumper support - depending on the type of kit, routing the pipes, and making sure that everything fits properly. I would also - imo - do a MAF relocation to help with the stalling issues that you will, more likely than not, run into when you mess around with a CAI and upgraded Intercooler; FMIC or SMIC. There are several threads on this, and several different opinions.

you don't need to. . . but it helps when you start to get hesitation issues, which you will more likely than not get. I am not saying that you will definitely get it, it's just something that has happened to a lot of people. It's something that I need to do, and I still have the stock SMIC.

always check out things from this place first. There are alot of members out there that either work, or own, fab shops and always try to hook us up. If you have doubts and want to go with one of the approved sites like Protege Garage, just PM Ken and see what he can do for you. Even on stock replacement things.

always plan for more boost. It's addictive as all hell. Believe me. That's part of the reason I am selling my car. I can't afford what I want to do to my car.

If your running stock boost with a stock turbo, you'll be happier with a SMIC. If you plan on up'ing the boost just go ahead and front mount that b****.
as far as MAF relocation...you only need to relocate if your venting to air. If you recirc, from the BOV/BPV then your fine. The issue comes in when you vent air in the system that the MAF already calculated as present, then it gets to the engine and some is missing causing a stall.

so what is the power gain with this kit? not bad for $375, i might have to pick one up.
i had the the weapon r hard pipes, they are nice, but the couplers and clamps are s***. if you buy em get t-bolt clamps right away.
and for the record i'm running the turbolife fmic currently with just intake and exhaust at stock boost and the car is running great
