i figure you'll get almost 2psi just out of the hardpipes...figure about 8whp for every psi and thats another 16whp. going with a larger FMIC and more tubing is a waste for those running stock boost.

the plastic piping swells under boost and that pressure is lost expanding the pipes not feeding the engine...now it'll have no choice but to go through the (now more efficient) intercooler and into the engine.

30whp is my guess at stock boost settings (not levels)

 

He sent me a picture.. same one on site! http://www.turbohoses.com/MSP.htm

wierd huh?

so, i'm looking at around 190whp or so..? w/ this setup.

 

did you notice just how little of that SMIC is actually hit by outside air?? Not a great location for mounting it but butter than being a top mount IC like the WRX's and new MS6.

p.s. do some searching around the net for custom IC sprayers...I think most people just use their windshield washer nozzle and spray washing fluid on it. The alcohol in the washing fluid absorbs a lot of heat...a lot more than water.

 

Yah, i noticed that too, gonna search around about the sprayers

 

says the intake is only 2 weeks old.

 

used is used.....new injen is almost as much and it's an actual CAI...not that it really matters though.

 

blah! he decided he is not selling car for a couple more months... back to searching... dangit! (dealers are teh sux!)

 

so you're NOT getting the SMIC??? dude thats hardcore suckage. Backing out of a deal like that.

 

That blows.

 

not getting it, said dealer didnt want to give him nothing for his car... going to wait a couple of months then trade it in.. which means the dealer will offer him less..

 

what an idiot.

well i tried to help ya out man.

 

sure did thanks... now for more searching.

there you go. no intercooler needed...

 

hmm.. does it come w/ a bigger engine compartment?

 

who spends that much building an engine and then re-uses the old shitty 1970's crank pulleyu with no dampner?
