so can the stock IC to TB pipe support higher boost levels (10-12psi) or will it blow off? I dont think it will expand since the boost will be way cooler than stock and I didnt notice any improvements in my current IC to TB hardpipe so I wanna go for the stock look hehehe

Ive gotta go pickup corky's book someday. If anyone has it, does it go more in detail about metals and transfer. I'd never question his knowledge, but why is he the only guy standing behind steel. Had a question about all of these comparos on intake temps and such on two different pipes. Was the steel piping coated or were we comparing bare to bare. Sorry if I re asked a question, only read about half the thread

I see the pic on the website with the turb --> IC pipe but it looks like black plastic... im confused. what pipe(s) come with the FMIC?? I see you can add an extra metal pipe for like 140. what all is included at the introductory price?

 

[FSDET]

its black but not plastic. it comes with all the pipes exept for the IC to TB pipe. u can either keep the plastic or get the metal for like hundred somthing. FYI there is ofcourse a small pipe included to connect the stock plastic ic to TB pipe to the fmic

Correct on everything.

This FMIC is a steal for $749! All I have to say is BUY IT ASAP before it goes up!! Don't even worry about the IC to TB pipe if money is a problem. You can always buy that pipe or a different one later. The plastic pipes expanding is just a myth, at least not at 10 psi. Think about it, even a SMIC is $600 with no pipes. A SMIC will never perform like a FMIC no matter what anyone says, but yes anything is better that stock.

I agree with you except for the fact that plastic pipes DO expand, even at stock boost. I have witnessed this along with many other promazda members. Yosky is running stock boost and his pipes expand like crazy when he revs it up. But this is a great deal for a fmic, that is why i'm buying it.

jeff, i'll be giving BEGi a call in the morning for an update

 

[EvilMSP]

Captain did you ever ask about painting the FMIC? Cause I'd be interested in making it black to look sleek instead of bling bling.

 

[gboromsp]

As soon as mine comes in you'll see one painted black.

Ah cool. Will you be using that radiator paint somebody mentioned? I'm just curious what is the best paint to use.

And of course I look forward to your pics!
