Fmic & Sri
Begi fmic
I remember reading that corky saw the best gains from the using the stock IC-TB pipe, so I guess hardpipes are BS(unless you wanna boost a lot).
I've had idling issues ever since I installed my AEM CAI converted to SRI, so I'm not so sure about the intake stuff. I'm gonna try something this weekend to see if I can fix it.

fmic if boost is gonna be raised at all.
if you're stayin pretty stock (in terms of boost), then i think intake (probably cai) with the smic is a good combo. unless there's something wrong with your pipes, then the stock ones should work ok. i like my hardpipes because i like hearing my bov - that's just me though ...

nice! Is it as good as everyone makes it out to be?peepsalot said:BTW i just got the BEGI fmic, it is awesome, I got it off another member and it came with an upgraded BPV from a mitsubishi. The bpv dwarfs the stock bpv in size, and it rids the car of turkey without any crazy dual setups.

My car runs much smoother and is better to drive overall with the turbo hoses smic and hard pipes. The car picks up much better at low rpms than before which allows me to shift less during daily commutes, and it sounds better!
Highly recommended.

Boost controller and FMIC.... 10 psi with FMIC to be exact. best bang for buck in hp gains.
10psi + stock exhaust = (braindead regardless of IC.
i would just get the smic unless you want to build the motor. hardpipes and intake offer very very little performance gains, just makes the car louder lol smic and exhaust are the way to go. last year i ran hardpipes and CAI (rest stock) and I found that having only a quarter tank of gas made a bigger difference than they did. smic and exhaust = bang for the buck performance. hardpipes + intake = 15s in the quarter lol look nice though

It livened up my car a lot. There is definitely more power all around, it feels very responsive, and boost comes on smoothly. I love it. I also love having no turkey(just a clean quiet puffff). I might post some pics if I can get a hold of a camera, mine crapped out on me.
I had some fitment issues trying to get it on, since I got in a fender bender, and crumpled the driver side an inch or so. I was driving around with no bumper on for a week and finally finished putting it back together today. I didn't test it much till now, since my fenders were loose and everything would scrape and rub if I went to fast. Damn, I treat my car like crap, well the body of the car anyways.

I wonder what my car would run with an intake, and an intercooler, and some hardpipes...
