yesterday my friend and i installed the FMIC pg godspeed core from my 07 ms3. Pretty quick install I guess like 2 hours or so. If I didnt have a how to paper might have taken alot longer. My impressions so far are my boost has increased my 2 or so psi (defi guage), turbo lag is almost not heard. I am totally happy with the install. I wonder what I can do net. the mod list is as follows

2007 ms3
twm shifter, bushings, knob, boot
cobb sri
pg tip
hypertech tune
PG FMIC
defi vent boost gauge
redline armrest and ebrake
grom ipod

i think i am more but not remembering for some reason right now. any suggestions?

holy crapload of bent fins batman. Did you let a 5 year old run his hands over the fins before installing it?
Monitor your fuel pump pressure.

i got it used. does it look that bad?

Yeah. As long as it ain't leaking though, who cares, it'll still work. Like the glossy black pipes. Get rid of those goddamn worm clamps and get some t bolts or you'll need to be hospitalised within a couple months for carpal tunnel surgery from all the tightening. You can get everything you need online for about $30 at silicone intakes.

what size would i need?

i found the t-bolt clamps but i'm not sure of the size needed, please help out someone!!!

If you just disconnect a pipe (or use a dial caliper, if you have one) and measure the outside diameter, get them a touch bigger than that and, you're good to go. Don't go too big, as you don't have the range of tightening you have on a worm clamp. The OD on my pipes was 2.5".
