wagner motorsports fmi kit install?

[SherbertRocket]

I am installing it right now and I am having some trouble taking off my stock pipes. Anyone have some advice to easy removal?

Use a hair dryer to heat up the joints. Twist and pull at the same time.

Agreed.

Don't use anything hotter than a hair dryer though...don't want to melt the plastic.

Yeah RIGHT!
Those pipes are a PITA to get off sometimes.
I have had them off a million times and they are still a pain to get off.Putting them on is easy but getting them off is a pain.

Hehe, I was like WTF?!?!?! There was no way mine were coming off just from pulling. I was about to cut those bitches off I was getting so frustrated with them.(fight) A little hair dryer action and they turn to butter.

 

[SherbertRocket]

awesome thanx everyone. it left on the 14 and got here on the 21 so not to long.

 

[SherbertRocket]

do you have to take out that second fan where the pipes that go to the intercooler are?

Hey by any chance do you remember what order number you were for the wagner kit. still havent gotten mine yet.

My kit showed up today atleast most of it did. just waiting for my airfilter and my BOV and bolts and i will be all set. core is smaller than i expected but i am actually glad about that because i don't want all the extra weight of a huge core infront of the front wheels. all i care is that it doesn't heatsoak and flows better when i am on the road-course. here are pics of what i have so far, all the piping is stainless which is nice unlike the hiboost kit. do i need to relocate my coolant overflow? if so where?

 

[low_psi]

I remember seeing Sherberts relocated IIRC, I even looked for that reason. The air filter gets tucked between the coolant and battery, so the coolant tank is moved towards the front like when using an Ingen CAI. Atleast I think...

bill harvey - word of advice (since you're going to use it on the track) find a local place that does stainless welds and make a bead of welds on either end of the pipes. Otherwise, overtime and under boost your hoses will pop off. That is the reason why we bead roll all of our piping that require silicone hose & T-bolt clamps.

good advice...
