Custom FMIC install - Finally
I finally got my T-28 kit and installed the FMIC and S4 bumper. I worked on this from 10pm to 1pm the next afteronn so apparently I was too tired to hold the camera still...

lol - the pic w/ the fogs and grills installed was even worse...
A good shot w/o the bumper:

Special thanks to John - my inpsipration for the job. The wider core was a PITA - the endtanks extend a little too far which made it harder to do the piping. I had to re-weld the piping because the side grills would not fit. It is fine now - and my welding skills are certainly getting better after this job. (not to mention my grinding skills)
Where can I find a red bump hose? I coud not get one in time for the AWE dyno day - so I used a straight hose for now. I also did not get my T-bolt clamps in time...

Thanks!
I just wish that I was able to do all three dyno runs and see how hot the core was. I brought an infrared thermometer - but got sidetracked when they were all worried about my boost and how much HP I made.

Very nice....
I can't imagine trying to fit a taller core in there, it's pretty tight with the core I have.
As for hump hose, I don't remember where I got mine. Do a search on Google for "silicone hump hose" and you should find plenty of places (like the one below)<ul><li><a href="http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g2cat/hoses.htm">http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g2cat/hoses.htm</a></li></ul>

I didn't look at the inlet side closely
did you have to cut the cross pipe to make room for the plumbing to the inlet? Or did you cut/redo the hose from the turbo?

I left the crosspipe in tact.
Tho my reciprocating saw was begging me to cut that stupid thing... It made BPV fitment a real PITA.
I did not realize who you were... It was nice to meet you. lol - Next time we should all wear AW screen name badges.
