Thanks

Pics of my perrin fmic install...

why don't you get a turbolife? They're better.

 

[Cruzanspeed]

Thats what they say! But how much better? Well perrin fmic are hard to come by so turbolife will be the next best thing I guess..

Just get the replica)Turbolife( SNOWFLAKE < LOLZ

Why not just diy for less.... Because honestly "The size of the IC or pipes has absolutely nothing to do with throttle response, or boost response. If you can calculate how long it takes for X amount of CFM to fill the volume in the intercooler, then you're thinking too hard. The flow is so great relative to the volume of the intercooler and pipe and distance involved in whatever sort of plumbing you utilize that these factors have virtually zero influence. Larger ICs do have greater pressure drops. If a 2psi drop exists, then the turbo is pushing 14psi, but only 12psi exits. This can effect spool time simply because the extra 2psi you need to add might take just those extra few RPMs to reach." and thats why i think prefab kits are lame

The Perrin/Turbolife set-up has proven to give the best results. The shorter routing has proven better throttle response and higher HP then the regular DIY.
The turboLife set-up is true magic. I can't wait for a used one to come up so I can upgrade my MAM set-up, which BTW is another great set-up

 

[SNOWFLAKEPSI]

so I take it by the responses that the Turbo Life FMIC is a copy, or closest to the PERRIN FMIC?

 

[harrisonchang]

is a copy that outperforms the perrin.

 

[MSP2k3]

is a copy that outperforms the perrin.

+1 , there are back to back dyno charts that show the Turbolife kit putting 10 more hp to the wheels than the Perrin.

and both require you to remove the crash bar, correct?

is there an FMIC still in production where you keep the crash bar and do minimal cutting? i know altered customs you have to cut some of the pipes and i don't know if i have the equipment... the MAM one looks to be out of production... perrin and turbolife involve removing the crash bar... don't know about corksport or ion, seems like those arent as popular

 

[harrisonchang]

turbolife and the perrin are the only ones that require you replace the crash bar.

The corksport requirese some cutting, i believe the altered customs does too.

 

[harrisonchang]

I installed the turbolife on my car, now i get 500+ to the wheels.

 

[theEZV]

if you dont want to cut anything get the hi boost kit

 

[43975]

the only equiptment needed is a $5 hacksaw

My design is based off the MAM, you keep your crash bar. Some cutting of the pipes and the lower corners of the frame. The other option if you don't want to cut them yourself is to take them to your local muffler shop, they can do it in a few seconds. I'm planning to have a sale on the MSP FMIC Kits soon also.

If this sale happens after Christmas, I'm on board!

 

[yudkib]

+1. dont think i can do it before christmas, but if the price is right...

 

[Metallic36]

Just started the sale I may do another around tax season.

And as far as the Perrin.. I thought there was someone on here not too long ago that had one for sale.
