Enough FMIC piping/couplers?

[destineal]

Is this enough piping to install my FMIC or will I need extra?
Same question for the couplers (Minus the reducers needed for the MAF).

Depends on how you route it. I take it a ebay kit?

You'll likely need another couple of couplers. also an adapter for the turbo.

Yea the turbo is a 2" and usually the piping is around 2.25" to 2.5"

 

[destineal]

Ebay it is.

Besides couplers I think you would have enough. BTW you should relocate your MAF if your putting a BOV on.

Only if venting...if recirculating you don't have to relocate maf correct?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

correct.

Another plus to relocating the MAF would be that if you pop a coupler, you could still drive it home, albeit down on power. I personally would relocate the MAF, recirculated BOV or not.

Recirc BOV = Why even have one?


If your gonna recirc then just keep the stock bpv.

because aftermarket BOVs tend to be bigger and flow more than the stocker.

where would you relocate the maf to. im in the middle of putting a t3t4 turbo in my car with fmic and all hardpipes??

 

[Wagonbacker9]

the cold pipe.

stock BPV is 5/8" outlet, if you want to kill the turkey you need 1" minimum (preferably 1.25")

the cold pipe.

more specifically, the cold pipe after the BOV/BPV and 6" at least from the throttle body.

as has been mentioned, there is no point in NOT relocating. might as well - its better on all fronts.

debatable from a tuning standpoint. that said, I did.

I am running the stock BPV and the MAM fmic and I get NO turkey at all just a nice woosh.

 

[yudkib]

interesting. very interesting.

I was told that I wouldn't have to relocate the MAF if I put the BOV after the turbo by a local MSP running a Altered Customs kit. Guess he must have been on here at some point.

incorrect. after the turbo is the only place it can go, and if you want to be able to let off the gas, put the car in neutral, and not have it stall, you'll need to locate the MAF between the blow off and the throttle body.
Altered customs is actually a "she"... and she was a vendor here breifly. Personally I feel her "kit" is a ripoff seeing as I'm running the same basic setup she offered minus her instructions, and it cost me about half what she charges.

I meant the local MSP guy must have been on this webiste at some point because he had an Altered Customs kit. Relocating the MAF would leave it not too far from its current location correct?
