FYI, there is a Group Buy on a FMIC kit. Check it out and see if you might be interested in that.

Mine sounds like turkey.

Gains were pretty noticeable. especially in extended driving. You have power all the time, unlike my Custom MSP SMIC.

most noticeable difference: consistency. The power is always going to be there, not just whenever the MSP decides to behave. There is a definite increase (especially in top-end) power, but more importantly it is ALWAYS there. extended driving is way better, and there is no more noticeable lag than with the stock set-up. this is my favorite mod so far, hands down. very easy install as well.

oh yea the bov... it does not sound like your normal bov. it's not a pshhh, but more of a very loud, very high pitched, "POONCH!". don't laugh, that's literally the sound it makes at wot. at low boost shifting, it is a cool sounding turkey. it's not bad, definitely audible, but not your normal bov pshhh sound. works fine though.

if you don't like the old school HKS that comes with it, the flange will also fit a Greddy type RS...which i think should also be the same as a type S.

anyone have ne sound clips of the bov or some pics of the intercooler on the car?

 

[Knox Joe]

Can't even tell mine's there. I'll get a better front shot this afternoon. You can barely see it through the stock grill.

ahhh i like my grill iced-owt!! it makes me happy everytime i walk up to my car...

and sleeper?!? have you seen your wing? and you've got yourself some hot-ass rims; not to mention the inevitable exhaust. i think sleeper is out of the question lol!

we lost the connection to get vids off of the camera and on to the computer, so here's one from my cell phone...sorry about quality but it's not terrible. it's also a little muffled in the garage, but you get the idea.

sounds pretty good..thanks for all the help guys..which would you suggest i do first, get a turbo-back exhaust or get the intercooler kit? i know power wise the exhaust would probably be better to get, but the look and sound of the intercooler kit is kind of winning me over lol whats ur guy's opinions?

where do you live? i chose to get the fmic kit before exhaust due to the weather here in texas. the stock sidemount intercooler was absolutely worthless.

 

[stlrollin6]

i live in stl...it gets pretty hot...u think the intercooler is best in a hot city before the exhaust? PM sent to MspHtown

that's not a bad option for STL, i might go for the IC first. msphtown -- how did the stock car react to just the Intercooler?
