Aftermarket FMIC install question
Two weekends ago I installed a VRSF 7" FMIC and am curious to know if I installed the silicon coupler to the OEM pipe coming from the turbo correctly. I slide the silicon coupler over the end of the OEM pipe, the part that fit inside of the OEM FMIC, is that correct? It was a PITA to do and just seems like there could have been a better solution. The FMIC came with no instructions so I did what I assumed was correct.

For an 09+ vehicle you should also have received the lower charge pipe that connects to the upper charge pipe (AKA charge pipe in this platform) which connects to the throttle body. Assuming that sounds correct to you and you're running well and not leaking boost you should be good. If you have a picture feel free to post them. |

Ah, that's where you went wrong. The factory accordion has to be removed. The included coupler should fit to the factory outlet pipe and intercooler only,,, nothing inbetween. This is wrong: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1211248 |
