check it out, just in case you were wondering how 3inch pipes and a true FMIC works together and how to put it all together, my build shows it all :sarcasm: tell me what you think

its all going to be welded, i just wanted to get it fitted first, and yea yea i know the routing is terrible, but its that turbo that is causeing all the big problems, the compressor housing is just so damn big that i have only about 2 inches away from the frame and the outlet if the turbo is aimed all the way down. as for the upper pipes well now with the way that the turbo is sitting there is barley enough room for the upper pipe to go next to the lower. or aka shoot off with a 45o from the TB. so the only way im seeing this work for me is to put up with it, get it welded, get a blanket or shield for the turbo, and heat wrapping for the upper pipe, and if i really feel like going the distance of making it cold, i guess cry02. but i dont think that will do. so if anyone else wants to maby give a suggestion besides down the pipe size or turbo then go at it. im all ears.
Sell the fmic and get an air to water intercooler and run it directly over the valve covers. Spin the snail upwards and then you will only have about 1.5 ft of piping total.
FFIM could solve ALOT of your problems with that pipe routing. I just got to learn a fun lesson about doing things right(thanks JJ!!!!!) Just wait for a little bit and make your own FFIM or find one pre made and that should solve all the problems...........just my .02 by the way
i would love to have a FMIC, but again $$$$ , i would make a FMIC but i dont even know were to start, and dont really understand the design of the intake.

he already has a FMIC [Front Mounted Intercooler]. He needs a FFIM [Forward Facing Intake Manifold]. He got his acronyms wrong.
