It says 2.25" inlet and outlet but the tubing is only 2" and this isnt ideal really you'll want 2.5" tubing and none on ebay have that

Im going to disagree, Mines a toyosports F.M.I.C kit although it looks identical to that, infact the pictures is exactly the same!

With a bit of time and effort you can get it to fit relatively well







R-tech Managed to get 231bhp and 258lbs out of the restrictive 1.75" pipework from the turbo to intercooler. As soon as I get this selection of pipework changed to 2.5" R-tech says another 10bhp will easily be achieved

So in conclusion.... If you dont want to save yourself alot of money and a bit of time and want a direct fit go and by a Forge or THS for 3times + the amount for a direct fit! How ever the latter option didnt appeal to me for obvious reasons

chris when people say it dont sit very good they are refering to the pipework as its hard to fit them behind the grills not the core itself i had one and took it off due to not being able to hide the pipes behind the grill  :smiley:

i dare say with a bit more patience i could have done it but it done my head in  :grin:

I struggled and ended up looking like the above and also had the pipe work painted black to make it look abit more oem but still werent happy.
Although its a fraction of the cost of well known brands and does the same job as them and still looks quite cool when times been spent on them.  :smiley:

A lot of the cheap ones not bar and plate core so not that good for cooling as to bar/plate core.

I wouldnt say dont get it.

Its your choice and your budget.

Iv had one and it done the job I want to save for a THS one but thats me being snobby and purely for cosmetic reasons.
