You should be able to find some doing a search. There have been alot installs using the OBX
off of ebay. I have 2 coming right now. The installs will be after Thanksgiving.
I think JL has some pics on their site.

lol! thats funny.........

I still think its a good kit for people on a budget or people not looking for a race car. By the Time you add a FMIC your at the same price as any other intercooled single turbo kit!

the sts kit with a gt67 is 4k... a FMIC is 1.2 k not including a custom install.... just because you got some sweet deals doesnt mean everyone will.

fmic is 250 for the intercooler and 90 bucks in piping, also the install was 150 bucks. You need to check your math.

1.2k for a front mount is a$$ rape. OBX works better than alot of people think,even at 14lbs

I think supra fmic kits and other imports go for 1200. But theres no welds on the pipes. Still a rip. You are allways better off doing it your self.

there was a gp for the griffens ranging from 600-900 if I remember correctly.

but as everyone is saying the $250 OBX works like a champ for 99% of the folks out there.

I know of 2 cars now making ~700rwhp with them.

....and their IAT's are very excellent too, especially at these HP levels with the ol OBX.
I love mine, glad I went with it.

Only have had mine for a few days now but its great. Still yet to re-dyno, with the FMIC and added boost. I am sure the IATs are down by 50% or so, allowing for more timing and of course more power. I will have pics soon and will post them. Even on the 5psi kit I think its well worth it. FYI: Right around or maybe just over 5k with the STS kit, 42lbs injectors, BOV, FMIC and boost controller!! Not to shabby for 81rwhp gain, before FMIC at 4.5psi, and an estimated 140-170rwhp gain with FMIC and 8psi. Will also get back shortly following the next dyno time.

I spent about $550 in parts to do my complete FMIC but I found out I could have got the piping cheaper but ohh well. The labor was nice and cheap

On my STS equipt. Z71 without the airdam on.


With airdam: Only a 2deg temp diff. so airflow is sufficient
