    ok so I'll be putting in a FMIC soon. The thing I kept trying to figure out is the piping to the turbo and throttle body. Ok, the 2 IC pipe that ran back into the turbo and throttle body, does it matter which side of pipe goes where(turbo or throttle). I know they're different in diameter each side. I've seen setups where the driver side IC piping goes to the turbo AND some to the throttle body. So does it matter? Does it depend on my IC piping?

    Mine is CXRacing FMIC.

    It will only fit one way. I have seen some people switch the pipes around on Nasioc but they had to add pipe. The pipe that goes from the passenger fender goes to the TB.

    I mostly see the passenger side go to the turbo.

    The bov pipe should be the one that goes to the throttle body.
