Looks great Ken!
Looking forward to the pictures of the final "pretty" kit.
How is the TMIC coming along?

Pictures, details!
Come on you slacker.
To answer some of the questions throughout this thread, no this will not work with any of the existing CAI kits, no the kit is not finalized therefor we have no knowledge of the MAF relocation causing issues... i can only assume that there will be none due to the fact of correct mounting and placement. And just to put in my personal opinion the kit looks beautiful. Piping will fit like a glove, all pipes have mounting brackets for them, so no rattling. The core is also a beast, it may not look large but we will take some shots from the top and you can see that this core is HUGE 3" deep! The end tanks on some of the kits also make up a bit of bulk, so don't get us wrong this core will hold up to tons of power!!! BRING IT ON!

I say 1500-2000 min. That looks good bar and plate is the way to go on the core.

it is still too much if you stay above 1500 that is a lot of money for not that much in HP gains.

Am I the only one that thinks that Intercooler looks extremely small? I know its not small, but it looks puny in that bottem grill opening.
Also, Are you sure this is going to be large enough? I could not find a 14x 11x 3 intercooler on the website, but a similarly sized IC (18x11x3) is only rated for 300CFM. If I am not mistaken, the stock turbo flows more than that at 17psi....
Sorry, I am not trying to knock your product, but that IC just doesnt seem right.
Take the MSP Intercooler for example. MAM use a 28" x 6.5" x 3.5" core and hiboost (their standard kit) uses a 24" x 6.5" x 3" . Perrin uses and even larger one (which is overkill)...
Anyway, look at total area:
MAM - 28x6.5x3.5 = 637ci
Hiboost - 24x6.5x3 = 468ci
Perrin - >637ci = overkill
MS6 FMIC core -> 462ci
That gives your core the smallest cooling area. Now I know effiency plays a huge role, (and that really cant be calculated here) but MAM, Hiboost, and Perrin all use non-ebay, high quality cores.
^^ Thats probably a bad example, but that is what got me thinking.
Once again, I am not trying to start an arguement or flame war, I just dont see that core being the best choice. maybe you can elaborate, or enlighten me if I am missing something.
Its nice to see that you are beating everyone else to get this out Ken. Best of luck with this!

Agreed. The Perrin is overkill. MAM and hiboost however are not..... Correct me if I am wrong, but the stock MSP turbo max is 405CFM (in its peak effeciency range). That would make the intercoolering they are using for the MS6 too small for the msp (at peak efficiency) , and I can only assume that the MS6 @16-17 flows more the MSP turbo.

awaiting dyno numbers on this....even though I dont own a MS6. But yeah, the IC looks a little small for those wanting to push their cars more, basically why they buy a new fmic. but I know nothing about it so I will await a response too.

Let me just say this if it comes in under $1100 this will work. But there needs to be dyno sheets and proof that the car can make 300+HP or this kit is no good on the market.

Incorrect. I posted core sizes, not including entanks. The MAM inercooler with endtanks is 33 1/2" long, and the hiboost is right about the same
