For everyone receiving your FMIC this week here's a step by step instructional video that will help you through the process. John did a great job going through all the steps and even though this was done with the HPF intercooler, it can apply to other intercoolers as well.

Photos don't do this FMIC justice.
This thing is huge! It is well worth it! Installation went smoothly until it started to rain. I did my work in my driveway and with only one jack. All-in-all it's a great product. Highly Recommended. |

HPF FMIC review
Ok so today i actually got to take my car up in the hills and on a nice long drive and got to put this FMIC to a test.
As expected, car felt the same in lower gears (1-3) and at lower speeds; however.....once i got in 4th-6th gear all i can say is HOLY SHIT! My car kept pulling, and pulling, and pulling...not enough road to drive. What a difference i felt at higher speeds and higher gears. Somewhat of a weakness in our cars, but not anymore! I was VERY impressed with the difference, one that you can actually feel when driving 'spirited'. Cant wait to get to the track this summer and some more 'spirited' drives!

Diego, I apologize if I missed it in the thread but can you advise as to the actual weight of the HPF IC as well as the stock? I am curious to know how much they differ.
