turbolife fmic ftw!(pics and sound clip of forge bpv)

[Zack]

so finally got it all hooked up last week and I am loving it. even in 100+ degree temps car still pulled strong in 4th gear(where the heat soaked smic would fail)


just a couple pics I thought Id share

upon delivery of the turbo life

a quick test fit of the forge on the welded on flange before painting-the pipe was once blank

Good!

 

[nullbyte]

very nice. I'm guessing you got the pipes without the nipple from the second group buy?

 

[KrayzieFox]

Ohhh.. that Forge sounds good. I have the GReddy Type S setup to recirculate and it sounds similar to that, but I like the sound of yours better. Also, good work on the location.. straight into the intake, no bends or anything. That's a good setup, nice job.

 

[harrisonchang]

where'd you get it? Did it fit? or had to fabricate a s*** ton?

 

[Zack]

well I got the turbolife kit at the end of the group buy. I got the forge bpv of mazda3 forum, the flange is a greddy flange for ms3's. Had the flange welded to the cold pipe, and had the recirc fitting cut off and welded shut on the injen while having the 1 inch nipple welded to it

damn, i'm trying to get the 3rd group buy running, but seems like it's not moving. I think i'm goig to go in another direction. Unless you guys can convince the guy to get it moving. anyway, i'm glad you got one of these kits man. Looks good.

 

[mspHtown]

looks good, its definitely a nice intercooler kit.

its not a big deal, but you know you can center the intercooler. there was enough play in mine to get the core centered in the grill.

good job Zack. so u finally got it all done. The forge bpv sounds damn good. You should have gotten the intake paint black too. But i like the setup. Now u got me thinking.

 

[Zack]

oh Ill be painting the intake black eventually
