This blue piece to the left of the IC is the one that'll need to bent a little to the left http://www.msprotege.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=33005

hey custom this is a little off subject but related and you have given me good advice in the past, can you replace the oem bov, keeping the oem ic pipes?

Yes there are a few BPV/BOV that'll work with stock pipes...for example:

One more question about pressure drop. I understand that CustomMSP's IC had a pressure drop of 1.1psi @260whp. Does the pressure drop increase as you boost more? In other words, would the pressure drop be lower if it was at, say, 160whp instead of 260whp?

Yes the pressure drop does increase as the air flow increases. We're looking at around .5psi drop at around 170whp.

We have the Turbohoses SMIC's and aluminum hardpiping in stock. I can vouch for their product, we wouldn't carry it if it wasn't top of the line.

I installed mine on Wednesday and LOVE IT. Had some difficulty installing the stock pipes on cuz they're slightly bigger then the inlets of the I/C but all is good and installed runs GREAT. I gain about 15WHP or so but my exhaust is the next mod which will definately help a lot.

 

[Talrum]

Ah..thanks for the heads up (cool)

 

[hazeXban]

I might do mine early AM tomorrow before I head off to an Engagement Party, and if I do will I take pics of the SMIC's side by side and stuff.

The hardest part of the install is really taking the stock pipes off. Since you got the TH pipes you should be done fairly quick. Let us know!!

 

[hazeXban]

I also might try and polish to top endtank tonight so it matches the TH Hardpipes!

FYI The engagement party I am going to is at Dave and Busters! BEst engagement party EVAR!

The Stock Pipes are slightly larger maybe by an 1/16" and the stock rubber band thingies werent on my car so i had to customize it till i get some of those. But its a SWEET SMIC HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Ill be getting some of DSMConverts HPs asap so hopefully that'll help my boosty boost.
