    I am going FMIC this weekend and my kit does not come with the coolant overflow tank.

    Does anyone have a small one laying around, preferably something cheap like the SSAC one that comes with that kit.

    Any others may work as long as they are small enough to allow for inter cooler piping to pass by.

    Thanks. I have cash in hand.

    I just want to check out how well your kit goes in. I'm going this route and would like to look at some other cars a little more closely.

    Yeah, Chris ended up using a glass soda bottle for a catch tank.

    I am living in st. louis park now right by calhune. I think I can handle the install, I might just relocate the OEM overflow tank or just rotate it to avoid the piping.

    I am also wondering if this large FMIC is safe to use with my TD04 on Cobb stage 2 until I can get the money for either a vf39 or a 16g.

    Curly I'll be asking you for help with the turbo swap + injectors...I'll pay cash of course.

    A fmic will do you no good right now but make it more laggy, plus you should get a new tune.

    yes I agree. I have a (as dumb as it sounds) TD04 with FMIC map that I got off a friend back home.

    I know it will add some lag but I am trying to get as much of the stage 2+ swap done before winter. I'm sure ill be getting a new turbo very soon....just toss it on the CC.

    I have the 255 already also

    Hey idk what you are looking for on your fmic but i did a fmic and you can look at it if you need some ideas. btw be prepared to cut out all of your bumper beam and most of your front bumper. Chris and i did it on my car and i did use a glass bottel but i have a universal overflow if you want it.
