i dont know how to drive stick too well and dont feel like sitting down and learning right now. especially here in miami stuck in traffic driving stick, illl shoot myself. im lazy, an auto is good enough for me. most drag cars are auto so autos cant slow u down that much. i know my car is not a drag car but if its a car i can sit back and step on it and actually move, im good .

thanx to THEGOLDPRO for sharing his fmic setup
added 1987-1992 style toyota supra intercooler. perfect for my needs. adequate size to the 2nd gen mitsubishi eclipse turbo. decent fit behind the sport20 bumper (though not perfect). inlet and outlet are on same size which means less piping, thus less lag. piping is 2" stainless steel. the intercooler is black and the piping to it was painted black so it can't be seen unless you get down and look through the grill mesh. very noticeable difference now while keeping everything at 6psi. no dyno numbers at the moment but a guestimate would be around 160. next upgrade will be bumping the boost to 12psi with ems, injectors, and fuel pump.

same FMIC, same size piping, only difference is the piping doesn't wrap around at the bottom, a hole was cut next to the headlight so the piping might be a bit shorter as it's more of a direct path to the turbo and mani.

I see you boosted up to levels of 12 PSI. How is the car holding up? Having any problems? What's your "daily driver" PSI set at?

Yeah..... thats not going to help me out any. I seriously think my car is ever going to see a track. Mine is a daily driver and thats about it. Maybe every now and then I'll open it up on the highway or a backroad, but I don't think a track. I might go to watch, but thats about it.
