AFTER READING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FMIC AND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS FORUM I FIGURED I WOULD ANSWERE SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ASK THEM.

1. Do I have any overheating problems?
* No, the tempereature guage is the same as it was before the FMIC
2. What BOV do u have?
* Greddy TYPE-S
3. DO you still have the "TURKEY?"
* No, I have the BOV recirculating into the intake and it sounds just like the GREDDY TYPE-S is supposed to sound.
4. How much did you pay for it?
*$800.000 which includes the Greddy core, custome SRI, piping, and labor.
5. Any "lag" or boost drop.
*No the car pulls much more clean and I the fuel cut is much much less then before.

I ADDED MORE PIX, BUT THOSE ARE ONES BEFORE THE FMIC. ITS JUST A BUNCH OF PIX OF MY FRIENDS AND I WITH OUR MINI BEACH CRUZ.

There was a little bit of cutting done to the bumper support. the core is
28"X 9"X 3".
 
Does the cutting you had to do in any way affect the safety of the car in a head-on collision?

The bumper support is still there. About 1.5-2 inches was cut so that the core would fit. I would think that the cars safety should be a different.

I had my re-bar trimmed about that much too. My car was totalled from a mph head on collission.
 
Looks great. . .any chance they might sell a similar setup to other people?

I like that it fills that area and isn't "hidden" by parts of the bumper like other kits.
 
First, the intercooler looks nice, good work...

Second... the gas prices look even nicer! very jealous. Most places around here are $2.53+ for 91 octane :'(
