FMIC or SMIC

[blackradon]

hey,

Well i hav some extra cash so i was wanting to get a new IC, so i ahve been looking at a Kinetic FMIC, or a boost factory SMIC. The front mount set up is a used,the set up will cost $550CAN and the BFSMIC is $500USD new. With the kinetic i would have to cut the front rebar to fit it in. booost factory just goes right in place of the stock one, i do want a "sleeper" type looking car, soo the BF would be the best, but i could always paint the kinetic one black. So i ask for some advice from you guys,

I say side mount to be different and stealthy

Re: FMIC or SMIC

FMIC can look so nice, but since your looking for a sleeper Id go side mount

Re: FMIC or SMIC

a sleeper is only a sleeper for one race then you have put effort into spending money on your car for no one to notice . imo

Re: FMIC or SMIC

fmic gives u better performance i believe, plus u can just put it behind the bumber, u can still see it a bit, but for the most part its hidden

I've got the Kinetic front mount and I love it. Plus if you want stealth you can trim your bumper grills to fit, then you can barely see the intercooler. I run with my grills in for the winter too keeps rocks off the IC.

Re: FMIC or SMIC

what about both (can this be done on the mk4?)
or dual smic

kinetic kit is on for a good price though

Re: FMIC or SMIC

^ yea i believe they are rs4 side mounts. i have a pic of them on my other computer.

and i don't think you can fit a FMIC nicely and snug without having to trim a little bit. i had to hack away with my eurojet

Re: FMIC or SMIC

Thanks for the responcence guys.

VRado6, thats what i would do. just trim all teh grill peices to put them back into place,

But ya i dont think i shouldnt pass up a good deal like thing on a FMIC plus resale value on FM are probly a bit better then a big SMIC so ill probly jsut pick up the FM and start cutting ahha.

Re: FMIC or SMIC

this may be dumb question. but if i were to put a FMIC and start cutting would the void my warranty?
