IPS Polished aluminum FMIC pipe kit (pics)
Installation on 93 VR4 with 2G body conversion. Well the kit took about three weeks to arrive, though i was told there were 2 sets ahead of mine. Let me just start by saying the guys at IPS are awesome to deal with, and did whatever they could to satisfy me. I was shorted the rear turbo IC pipe adapter when i spoke to them on Friday, and was overnighted the part to NJ which i recieved the next morning.
 The quality of the piping and polishing was great. Not to mention no modifications of the piping or couplers was needed. The Y connection on the hot side was tight as shit but eventually got her in. Other than that the fitment was dead on. Precision Turbo 31 1/2" X 3 1/2" X 8" intercooler core was used. Crash bar still in place, oil cooler slightly moved forward and up a little, and slight notching of the front bumper. The setup (yea i know the outlet IC pipe is backwards...didn't find that out till the install since i didn't recieve instructions either lol jk not really needed if you can improvise a little)  Old parts removed. Including polished y-pipe, stock sidemounts (man were they trashy), stock pipiing, front exhaust manifold heat shield, clutch booster vac reservoir, and misc. brackets and other crap.   Intercooler mounted, piping started.    Finito.   (Yea I know its getting painted very soon. Was thinking black but white with gunmetal wheels and 3 piece hoop spoiler might look pretty tight) Anyways I wanted to say thanks to the crew at IPS for making it happen. If anyone is considering one of these kits I highly recommend it if you got the money. Worth every penny. And o yea shes LOVIN the FMIC. Especially compared to the beatup sidemounts, which barely had any fins left and what not. Just walked my buddies EVO IV hard. And i mean HARD...like a few cars from 60-100. Before the FMIC I walked him, but not like that  We got a video too...i'll try to post up later. Todd

Re: IPS Polished aluminum FMIC pipe kit (pics)
Jeff, i had a few questions but figured i post them here instead of calling...i know how busy you guys are.
Does this kit eliminate the chance of running a recirculated bov? Stalling problems are back again  Do i need to go with a blow-through setup?!?!?! However, i've planned on converting when i get some extra cash.Also i read on one of your threads about the remodeled kit including a boost nipple on the 90 degree bend before the throttle body. On the stock y-pipe i had my boost solenoid connected there. Thanks, Todd |
