Well guys after waiting for a decent deal I found this a used starion fmic, end tanks changed a bit, seems to be fairly unrestrictive, you can blow right thru it with ease... hell you can see thru it it goes with my used/cheap turbo setup.

ok so pics out with the old ; busted sr sidemaount setup(real nasty looking )in with the new ugh weaksauce ; can see my turn down in that one /\

with the bumper back on... hit 15 psi today I was kinda like ZOMG wtf, boost controller unhooked ftl. running 8.5psi right now.spikes to 9.5 or 10 sometimes in second. I can feel huge diff with this over sr side mount, I'm sure lag is way down with the endtanks moved to a better location. Like I said you can blow thru very easy..

and yes I now no injectors listed, I'm about to go pull some q ones and see if they work. any suggestions on getting them out of the rail?

huh the injectors? yeah I didnt get to it, but I need to lol, I want more, just a little bit more, 12ish, with some water if needed. got my dood trying to find some fogger nozzles or mist.

thinking about it now ,the way boost spikes so much harder and and how loud my bov is now, lag isnt bad at all. also after doing about 10 10~15 second pulls the IC isnt even hot or warm, its cool out but damn I could watch my temp gauge rise from the SMIC getting heat soaked. Yes thats what it was cause I havent went past 185* at an increased psi.

how much did that FMIC setup cost you? Hybrid has a sale going on, their FMIC kits are 325 shipped with FMIC, piping, couplers and clamps. I used their kit on my SR, works great.

use coupon code KIT100 which drops the price from $425 to $325

great look out!!!!!!!! lol you would laugh, the setup cost a total of like 40 bux, well the IC cost 40 shipped from p/r. was already mod'd to be more flow oriented(stock starion inlet/outlet are in a stupid place(you can see where it was welded shut)) I put the cost at 100 bux for pipes and all I had all the hot/cold pipes laying around,so I dont really count them ,but the frigging couopler have me at like 40 dollars... I'll be buying a few mandrel bends here in the next week or so, debating steel or aluminum.. picked up a band saw and a grinder today so project will be much easier... I cant weld aluminum(no gas ) so steel is looking good, that and price is way better,and not finding any 2" aluminum(hot pipe)
