got mine running saturday. it pulls alot better. spool up is alot quicker. iam very pleased with it. install was a little rough but i managed. i sent pics to jen hopefully they will b on her page soon!

How did you mount your core up so high? I have mine in and working and I love it( thx Jen) but the core sits low, Did you cut your bumper support? As of right now the kit is working great just trying to get the aesthetics I want! any help is always appreciated

i had the same issue with the core sitting low as well, what i did was cut holes in the bottom of the bumper support so the threaded studs would go up in the bumper support, and drilled holes in the top of the bumper support and used a 4 1/2" bolt to reach the studs. also i cut off the studs on the bottom of the core to clear the bumper, but i still had to cut some of the bumper on the inside but u cant see that anyways, its a tight fit and takes alot of measuring but it was worth it to me.

yea same here i had to shave some off the inside of the bumper. and the hot side pipes really were the main issue with fitting the bumper.also i ended up using the intake pipe for my cold side pipe that connected to the intercooler outlet. it was a perfect fit!

i know what u mean about the install it was tough for me to i also read what other ppl were sayin about the install and was like if this is easy to install i wouldent want to install one that everyone says is hard lol

 

[msptn03]

yea the same and i wanted to take pictures of what i cut for other people and i forgot!!!! and i am NOT taking my bumper back off!! lol but i did get diff angle pics than u did and jen. so if neone else had any questions they could look at all of our pics and make a decision!

.

argue with gf=bad (lol) i totaly agree

Something else that may help with the fitment of the bumper, if the curved pipe that's connected to the FMIC is keeping the bumper from going on, you may need to trim it some more. You can basically trim the straight sides of it as much as you need to as long as you still have enough of the straight side to go into the couplers, and it will make room for your foglight holes on the MSP lip to go on the side of the curved edge of the pipe.

So.. which way does this kit route the hotpipe to the core?

 

[Metallic36]

It goes from the turbo, to the bov, then the L pipe goes parallel with the radiator, then a straight coupler connects to the J pipe, then that one connects to the FMIC. Goes under the frame by the wiper fluid reservoir.
