My custom FMIC

[NoFriegue]

Hello all,

I just wanted to share with you my FMIC installation.
I decided to do this due to the high costs of other kits that just charge you their brand.
The total cost of this installation was around 400 USD (200 for the IC and 200 for the silicone pipes).
I'll be doing some logs this weekend and I'll post them, but I expect a good gain on intake temps (compared to the stock SMIC).
Here are the pictutes:

Here are some pics with the bumper (sorry for the poor light but they were taken at night).

I hope this pics help anyone who's thinking about doing the same. It can be done, and at the half of the price!!!

Let me know what you guys think.

I got the IC from here. They sell a bunch of sizes and shapes of IC at good prices. But I don't know about the shipping to UK though

Twin pass?

I'm not sure what twin pass means, but if I'm right it's single pass (top to bottom).

Ok, my bad There're just too many terms that I just don't quite get...
So, far the car runs the same, at least my boost gauge shows the same boost. I guess i won't be sure until I do the logs...
