FMIC is finally installed.
The biggest problem is the that the GT turbo isn't in the same location as the stocker. So the turbo out pipe didn't line up properly since the turbine is shifted slightly. For this, I have it pretty good now, but I will need a better hose to go from turbo to the discharge pipe. I need one that goes straight up.
I also added a little bracket up front where it mounts to the intake manifold to shift it slightly. Now the pipe is rubbing a bit on the TMIC ducting.
On the discharge pipe, I drilled a hole and tapped for my pressure source since the Garrett doesn't have one like the stocker.
I also added the CPE CAI, I had to do some cutting to make it fit. It was either cut the CAI, or cut my ATP inlet. Seeing as how CAI is less expensive and easier to get at I opted to cut the CAI. This allowed it to line up just about perfect. I had to do an angle cut, plus about 1 inch beyond where the crankcase connects.
And that damn snap ring!!!! Those should be illegal to use, I hate those things.
Next thing is to clean up the engine bay cause it's filthy.....and install my 1 step colder plugs.
