I payed $183 for my fmic kit. I pieced mines together. Bought my pipes,bov adapter,intercooler from different sellers on eBay. Size I got mines was 27x6x2.5.

I just posted some pictures of my intercooler setup on the link jdmdikk just put up. Page 40.
My intercooler was a bit large you could say. 30"x7.5x3" with a 2.75 in/outlet with reducing couplers and a CXracing 2.5" intercooler pipe kit. I paid $150 for just the intercooler and $80 for the pipes, turboXS rfl BOV, and pieces from my 99 protege CAI kit.

I've decided to go with the cheap ebay kit that has the two 180* pipes.

Just bought a MS3 '03 and looking to install the same FMIC kit (assume same from ebay). How did it work out for you and were there any additional parts needed? Thanks
