front mount.
« 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...
