Default FMIC STS Camaro SS Complete

Original Install:
IC Mounted



FULL PICTURE SET

Car will be seeing 10psi wastegated and 15+ with meth

btw, pressure drop seems to be a little over 1psi on the 5psi spring. I got a 12psi spring hoping that I will end up somewhere around 10 after the pressure drop. Havent put the spring in yet, but will post when I do. Under boost I am not seeing above 92 degrees and this is in south florida weather...bout 90 degrees ambient which pretty much says the IC is doing its job

move the wastegate signal from the turbo to from the manifold then it will know about the pressure drop accross the IC and you will get the boost the wastegate is set to.

nice job.
any noticeable delay in spooling with the fmic and extra piping?
I considered doing it similiar to you but chose to go for the shorter piping and the bonus of extra traction by relocating the battery. Pretty bold to weld everything. You're much braver than I.

qmp did that on their single turbo z28 as well. i think its just a regular slp grill with parts cut out. box cutter and exacto knife should do the trick.

Looks sweet!

I relocated my vacumn line from the turbo to the manifold and my boost is more consistant now. It doesn't vary more than about 1psi whereas before it would vary as much as 3psi at high boost.

Any chance of selling these? I'm lazy and i'm sure there are alot more people that would love to buy a FMIC kit instead of going through the cut and hope process.
