Agreed, can a mod take his posts and put them into a separate thread to be stickied? It would save the gazillion threads that seem to be appearing about fmic's at the moment. :grin:

+1 is it the ONLY option to use the forge tube with it in or get a boss welded on  :undecided:

For those of us with the throttle body on the passenger side there's two options.
Option one connect to the plastic map pipe
Option two add the forge alloy map pipe
For those of you with the throttle body on the wrong/right side sorry it's all Chinese to me  :kiss:

If you have an LCR, just retain the stock MAP sensor plastic pipe as most people do.

if you have anything else, then where my pipe run uses a 63mm 100mm alloy joiner, just replace that with the forge map pipe under the headlight. Works a treat on the ones I've done.
