got my hi boost fmic

[Heathen23]

the instructions are good..and he replyed back to my email and told me wut to do so im gunna try to finish tommorow after school.

Well if it's a tricky issue let me everybody know as I'm sure as they arrive to people in the next few weeks you won't be the only one wondering why a pipe is too short.

Overall hows the install?

Glad Juan helped you out so quick. He's good by email/pm.

overall the install is easy ...the bumper was a little tricky anyone whos taken it off knows whut i mean..theres 4 screws behind the whell well that are tough to take off...but takeing out the stock ic was easy and the new fmic core mounts up perfect...the brackets were good except they didnt make a bracket for the top of the radiator so i made one my self. the outlet piping mounted up very easily..and the only problem is the big u shped pipe that is in between the turbo and ic inlet.

Not sure if anyone asked this yet, but is the stock BPV still being used, or is it completely eliminated?

It is replaced with an HKS recirc valve which uses the same flange as the SSQ if you want to upgrade.

Mazda will tell him no chance in hell most likely considering most dealers will tell you a non mazda air freshener voids the warranty.

Do you have any issues with the HKS hitting the injen? If you move those adjustable clamps out towards the edge on the silicone closest to the turbo you will have a nice seal and won't show much orange (I'm just anal I'm sure it's sealed).

LOOKS GREAT!!!!

where does the BPV opening on the injen run? Also, that is tacky as hell....having two bov's on the same pipe?! mmmmmm that just made me think twice about this fmic....

Where is the second BPV? You cut the U bend pipe off the injen as you do in all other fmic kits so you can run a more direct route.

but is that plugged?

but plugged??

Hey man, so did you see the 1 psi bump in boost that hiboost has claimed? How much stronger does it feel exactly?? I'm up in the air big time wether to nab this up or the corksport computer.

 

[Heathen23]

but is that plugged?

LOL buttplug.

No, it is connected to the hks just like the stock was.

 

[1FASTMSP]

what is up with no t-bolt clamps?

I dont have any issues with the hks hitting the injen.. and i dont know how much boost increase i have gotten b/c i didnt decide wut gauges im getting yet...but you can definetly feel a power increase.
