Or will they need a lot of work?? I read up you need a Y pipe for fitment too, is this true?

Also could I install a FMIC and leave the crash bar in?

No, you do not need a Y pipe. You don't need one if:

You're running a single turbo setup
You're using a dual in-single out core
Or if you plan on doing a dual core FMIC like oohnoo.

I know for sure that a kit like that is going to be a PITA to install, since its not vehicle specific.

And yes, you can install a FMIC while keeping the crash bar.

you will still need a form of a ypipe. If you have a single in and single out intercooler, like 80 percent of intercoolers, the turbos have to come together before going into it.....hence a ypipe.

Exactly. You could probably use an ebay Y pipe from ChromeIntakes or something... I believe its been done before.

Just so you know running 2.5 inch hot side piping is going to be a pain, especially when you try to route two of those pipes from the engine bay into the driver wheel well. Consider going with 2 inch or prepare to do some cutting and grinding on the car. The kit your looking at on ebay is universal. It will work, but its missing a few peices you would need to to complete the setup for FMIC or SMIC. Checke out ebay or the "price matched parts" vendor on here for a complete setup. Its worth it to buy the premade FMIC kit unless you will be doing all the fitting and welding yourself.
