Title: front mount.
Post by: km on 24 May 2011, 20:28

Thought I'd give the ebay fmic a go. however, the end of the pvc pipe which goes from the throttle body to the previous intercooler is alot smaller in diamater than the pipes which I have received for the kit. what options do I have? thanks.

as in, replace the pvc pipe or the aluminium pipe?

has anyone else had an ebay fmic without any problems? i understand i'll be hacking my bumper away. but i don't see why the pipe wouldn't fit.

is there anywhere i can find an aluminium reducer pipe?

Looks like the sort of thing you need bud, dont they need a lip on though to stop the pipes from slipping off...

or rough them up with sandpaper and use hairspray, thats keeping my whole FMIC setup together and deals with 20psi boost  :grin:

There is a guide somewhere how to turn a set of molegrips into a pipe flaring tool!
