Damn, I wish I had seen this when I bought my FMIC setup. I only got a 3" wide intercooler. Oh well, I plan to add MeOH/Water injection anyways.

The 4" is the width of the interooler. The rest of the plumbing is 3" which is typical.

Bringing this back up for a question about the vibrant flex couplers. They sell a standard coupling with inner braid liner, a turboflex coupling with interlock liner, and a standard flex coupling without inner liner. Which is ideal, or better? I'm wanting to put one on the hotside crossover pipe.
