yes

ebay

they come in the kit

its two wires that need to be soldered. and some mounting brackets can be made with strips of metal and a drill.

Almost all of us are running HDI and are sticking with it

theres a couple of links in the Stagea Section about these HDI's which would show you the appreciation of the unit and parts.

but it'll increase turbo lag on a stock turbo right Aaron

[Sunkist]

nope, it will make the turbo spin alot faster than standard to hold pressure.

Larger volume= more volume to fill.

standard ceramic wheel is designed to spin at a certain rev when stock, adjusting sizes ie FMIC/FMIC Piping Phenolic runner Spacer and making them larger creates a larger volume to fill and pressurise.

fan spinning at a higher rev than stock = increased chance of ceramic wheel falling off.

i dont get the funny part.

does the kit come with piping that goes from turbo all the way to the throttle body ?

any pics would be appreciated of kit installed

[Sunkist]

the turbo has a pip that bolts to it, and a black rubber hose. The intercooler starts from this hose.

Just kidding with ya...I swear you told me I might notice a tiny bit more lag with the new intercooler when I had it fitted...

You need to use the "search" function of this forum. From memory there are at least 3 threads about the HDI FMIC that show pics.

The piping does not connect to the throttle body or the turbo but connects one pipe segment from each.

On the turbo side it replaces the curved pipe going back to the turbo.

On the TB side it goes to the alloy pipe in front of the TB.

something unoticable like 1/200 revs. but not significant.

okay i read the older posts

just wondering do you recomend the slim line fan that comes with the HDI kit or the one from ebay ?

[Sunkist]

if a fan comes with it, use that.. but most of us didnt get a fan with it and just purchased this off ebay.

Lol @ Craig (love it!)

The slim line fan DOES NOT come with the kit unless you specify and pay extra for it.... only the brackets for the fan are included.
