What will I need to install FMIC and charge pipe?
What's up guys like the title says, what tools will I need? I figure its easy enough to install on my own and safe myself some money instead of letting a shop do the install. It's a cobb FMIC and ER charge pipe.

Basic hand tools and a dremel. Both jobs are mechanically simple but a bit frustrating due to a few tight spots.

You will have to cut off the factory clamps on the IC hoses with a dremel or the like.

You don't need to cut factory clamps!!! They pop off. There is a seam that you have to find. If you get a screw driver under that seam and pry gently, so you don't bend the tubing very much, it will pop off. I think I still have mine and can show you the seam. I'll look for it a little bit later.

Marc gave a link to the instructions. Really good instructions. Better than what I got. Hahaha. It shows a pic of the seam on the clamp on the turbo outlet tube. I was getting real nervous when trying to cut it. Then I saw the seam and it just popped off when I pried at it. Everything else is pretty much just bolts and those pressure c clamps that just slide in.

note on cutting the clamps. It looks like its installed using a solid ring, its not, its a T-ring. It can be a PITA to remove though. Takes a few picks, flat tip, mirror, light, and a little patience. First one came right off, second one tool a good 10 minutes.
Hand tools, dremel, zip ties (to clean up wiring). You will need a torq set and picks that some would say is not included in typical hand tool set. Cobb should be easy, minimal cutting. I installed a giant CXRacing unit and it took time to do it right, downside of a cheap kit. Good luck and have fun |

If you install the cobb unit properly there will be no need for a dremel. Everything cobb makes is plug and play.

Will do guys, I'm going to get a baseline dyno before I install so when I go FBO and pro tune I can see the gains.
