Hi all. Just wondering which fmic kit uses a similar design for the outlet piping to the plenum as shown in the image or can the piping be found seperately? I already have a FMIC, but due to the U pipe that goes to the plenum getting in the way, my stock air box can't have the snorkel fitted. I wish to have the snorkel back, so anyone has an idea or does the piping need to be fabricated?

My airbox is exactly the same as yours is and it's probably breathing in hot air without the snorkel. Btw, you got the engine bay painted? Looks wicked!

Thanks for the suggestions and info, guys. A turn flow cooler will probably be my best option since I'm thinking of ditching the current one anyway. It's all corroded. Anyone has an idea of how to get the corrosion off on the exterior?

just get a return flo kit, heres mine with stock airbox

Point of a return flow cooler is to use the standard piping...therefore the factory snorkel and airbox will work with it fine. You have an R33, I have an R33, trust me :whistling:

that's more than a 'bit' of trimming! you'd definitely want to have some other CAI going on elsewhere

OP, get a turnflow kit and worry no more

You know i got a CAI :) #1 reason for air feed was to cover the area where you could see big turbo :)

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
