    got finished with cutting the bumper and putting that back on tonight.... drove my car around a bit and i can already feel it, and see it!

    before i was peaking and holding at about 15lbs boost, now after the fmic I am peaking about 18 and holding at 15. i still need to get a GM BCS.

    it was an ebay kit, i had to do some fabbing to mount it and a little to run the pipes but it worked out good!

    now i just need to upgrade the turbo to maximize it!

    Which kit did you get from ebay. I saw kit ranging from $199-$600. Hows fitment?
    I worry about the piping b/c all the kits have different angle pipings.

    i have intake and exhaust and am tuned on e85 with 750cc injectors, i would say full boost is about 3300 rpm??? i havent really payed too much attention to that lol

    as far as looks go, the quality looks great! great welds, good construction

    i am running a stock BCS now, as soon as i get a GM i will be getting a full tune!

    It was from CXRacing, i unfortunatly ordered the wrong kit, i got the one for a 95 to 2000 impreza, the driverside pipes worked just fine, but we had to do some cutom modding of the pipes for the passanger side.
