So I got tired of waiting for my piping kit off ebay and decided to do a temporary fix so I can drive my car untill it arrives I went to autozone and purchased 3 exhaust adapters 2.5"-->2.0" 1 exhaust adapter 2.25"-->2.0" 2 spectre 3.0"-->2.5" air intake adapters and 2 pieces of 2.25" flexible exhaust hose hooked it all up using the exhaust hose to fill the gapbetween the stock hoses and the new FMIC took it for a little test drive and between the ghetto hoses and the huge intercooler I dropped from a 14psi spike to a 12 psi spike and still hold 10-11 till redline it actually doesnt look bad since you cant really see the hoses through the lower side grills and through the lower center grill the FMIC pretty much fills the whole thing pictures coming soon
and this will be a temp setup btw just couldnt stand not driving my car for another weekend

 

Forgive the bug splatter she hasnt gotten her weekend bath yet

 

Nice clean install. Would look better with these.

Thanks for the compliment beachchair It looked kinda trashy with the plastic cover off but once I put it on and got the lower grills to fit back in it actually looks good

 

Looks great installed. I bet the MKIV guys are pissed you didnt have to really modify the bumper to fit the core. Those guys all have to remove the crash bar and cut the bumper.

 

Yeah all I really had to do was relocate the horns remove the headlight washers and relocate the temp sensor and I filed the bottom bolt holes for the crash bar just large enough to fit it over the core so tight it actually holds it in w/o the mounting brackets now if only I could turn my boost up tocompensate forthe 2 psi I lost
