Custom FMIC

[nismostate]

I've researched about home made setups and theres not enough info. is it worth the trouble or should i just buy a aftermarket one? What kind of pipings and pieces did you use? How much did it cost? uninstall pictures would be great. My main concern is to make one with the least amount of restrictions, or does that really matter?

To teach you more about intercooling than you ever thought. Pay close attn to the section about endtank design and you'll see how poor some aftermarket intercoolers are.

Thanks guys. Did any one else actually make their own pipings?

damn, that's a nice IC for the price. How come you needed a new bumper? Is it that big????? Did you install it yourself?

yes I installed by myself I think that you can hack a stock bumper to fit but I got mount welded on and it made the intercooler seat away from the car

You guys need to read the I/C faq page that I posted, especially the part about endtank design and flow.
