they were sent via USPS down to you in puerto rico, pm me when you can!
technically all of the talk did involve the fmic and how the car was responding with them on. and to add to more pictures...notice the kink on the last picture. Hopefully the mail will have my elbow or I really need to take off the recirculation hose and move it around at the inlet side

Hey Ken, why is the driver's side coupler so long? It looks like you only need half of it to clear the radiator support. I think this is why it seems to be off center. Just asking.

yeah i was able to rotate mine quite a bit but still had the kink to it not quite as bad as youres but i really didnt want to have to use the elbow but ended up using it anyways.... just some trimming of the stock hose and works like charm.

Over 2k at this point...
Cool.. hopefully you're good to go then! (yes)
My greddy type s does sound the same and I was back firing like hell. I adjusted it some to stop it from back firing so much but my type s now sounds like a greddy rs. I will mess with it some more tomorrow I guess.
edit: On my way to work I noticed I am boost leaking somewhere. I really think its at the bov. I forgot to put the bov on before attaching the pipe on the car and tried putting it on after so the bolts might not be tight enough or my bov is terribly adjusted.

Install was alright, the sensor in the grill of the bumper had to be bent and I didn't like the whole idea of cutting the recirculating hose which looks tacky now. Not sure how many shims I should have in my forge now. I can feel the turbo lag, and my forge doesn't ping anymore. After a quick drive my pipes were pretty hot. I did feel some hp/tq power. The powder coated fmic was really nice, but the paint on the pipes weren't to par. Only one coat of paint? Looks good though, just waiting for my bracket since it didn't come with my first or second kit
