turbochris Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey, im currently fitting the FMIC to my GT and im having a few probs. Firstly I cant seem to get this pipe in line, it seems to be catching on the radiator whenever i try and stopping it going in place, has any body else had this problem or is it normally a tight fit? Also does this look right for this side?Any help would be appreciated as I have never done anything like this before. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan-11 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 looks like u might need to rotate the turbo a wee bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbochris Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Is that easy enough to do? bought it off here as a group buy so i wonder if others had problems aswell.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 id send the fooker back and get a proper kit instead of fannying on get a jperformance exact same as the HDI hate it when you get things and they just do not fit like they should! pee-s me right off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pig666eon Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 id send the fooker back and get a proper kit instead of fannying on get a jperformance exact same as the HDI hate it when you get things and they just do not fit like they should! pee-s me right offwhere did you get its a shit kit? there were 10+ plus kits sold and there no issues do you have one of these or something and it let you down,didnt fit, just looked horrible? as i dont know where your getting your info chris there is obviously something wrong there as above everyone has theirs fitted with no issues. ive sent a email there to james so im sure he will be in touch shortly when he gets it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbochris Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 yeah thats why i was wondering if it was just me being abit crap at fitting it or if anyone else had an issue. I dont have issues with the quality ect i was simply after some guidance with the fitting of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
