Any FMIC kit requires trimming of the core support for the piping but if your core is 7" tall or shorter it can fit between the crash bar and bumper. I have mine this way however I would like to trim the crash bar and mount the IC about an inch higher to better fit the lower grille. I am using the ebay FMIC kit with 2.5" piping.

The SC FMIC has two metal screws that attach it.
It is exactly the size of the space in the bumper so it requires no alteration EXCEPT that you should cut the metal to the left and the right of the radiator to let the pipes in.
How does the custom MSP side mount intercooler compare on speed circuit?

They are both really good alternatives to the stock (Plastic) SMIC.
If you are not going to be boosting much more than stock, it might be a good option.
Ther reason I did not suggest it was that you said FMIC.

FMIC is a funniy thing..
The natural ideal is "The Bigger The Better"
That is not the case always.
Average Ambient Temp and How close the the Edge you plan to take the Turbo.
I have the SC FMIC hooked to a GT30 71 and normally it is hardly working, thus hardly making heat.
If I still had my GT28 and was pushing the same HP, I would be worried and want a huge FMIC like I had in the past.
last spring I redid everything at once and carefully planned everything to work together.
My IAT has yet to log over 42 Deg and that was stuck in traffic..
Under load it quickly drops then slowly climbs, as soon as I let off the temp drop.
The SC FMIC was a great addition to my car.,

the corksport FMIC doesn't involve cutting the crashbar either
does the speed circuit piping kit http://www.speedcircuit.net/product...d/408?osCsid=a430fa09b85ef1d213e5d1bf04a9779d have all the pipes needed to go along with the speed circuit fmic? It says it has a convertable two piece that can be a cai or sri, would that mean that you wouldn't have enough piping for the fmic if you used it that way?

It has all piping plus a CAI which can be converted.

Ran the start of the summer on Spring Pressure of 12 PSI, then walked it to 15 and then 18 once I was happy with how the Target O2 was behaving.
Tried 20 for a couple of shots and it was quite a different car, even compared to 15Psi
You will need 2x90 Degree for the FMIC
You will Need 1x From turbo
You will need a 45 or 90 at the Throttle depending on if it is a 65mm or OEM TB
You will need 1x To join the two pipes leaving from the FMIC
