Yeah luckily I have monday off so I might still be able to make my FMIC a working part of my car instead of an ornament

I have my just installed oil cooler electrical taped to the front bumper of my car, and the bumper cover is still sitting on the porch. Yeah, need to be able to do more stuff on a weekend.

So after ripping out my stock plumbing and SMIC's I drove to the exhaust shop that said they had a mandrel bender and could hook me up and after showing them the pices I needed bent they took me back to a regular pipe bender and attempted to bend the easiest piece but couldnt get the bends close enough together so now my car sits looking like it had a front end collision waiting for a piping kit I just ordered off ebay to arrive and my plans of a clean all metal pipe kit have died and I have decided to rig up the universal kit to fit my needs

you would think they would be smart enough to make 2 bends and cut and weld

The exhaust guy said he was willing to do that and told me he could make it look nice and fit perfect but the shop owner shot down the plan even though I offered to pay more then the hourly rate they charge for exhaust.

on a side note will the stock plastic pipe that the MAP sensor is mounted to hold up against 30 psi?
