Default New update of the Turbo Lag after FMIC installed.(w/ Pictures)

First of all, I would like to thank you all for partitcipating on my issue. It really bothered me since I spent the money and time and I got even worse performance. I worked on every possible issues, and last night I looked at one of the thread about DV relo. Here is the picture.

and here is the DV relo picture from Tcarbon

If you observe careful enough, you will notice that in the Tcarbon picture, the DV is installed side way. And of course, it was exactly how I did mine. After I re-installed the DV, It works FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thus, The Tcarbon FMIC kit has no problem. And it certainly increased my car performance. Sorry about giving Tcarbon a bad name, I hope I don't get sue for that

The tCarbon pic is in the stock orientation, the turbohoses kit is in the "reverse" position.

yes thats why the tcarbon kit has a few pluses. no need to buy an identical IM just so it points the opposite direction and we get a DV reloc.

can i ask you to post a few pics of the install. and also particularly the DV and its positioning?

This is how my engine bay looks like now.



Where my DV used to locate


Relocated DV. (correctly)


Better look








Left side of the lower grill. Hose in the way.


Cut of a lil part in order to make it fit.

I don't have more detail picture on how the kit is installed. I also removed the aliens and relocated the horn to the passenger side's fender.

It should not be a big of a deal to lose them. I bet those winshield wash fluid is more dirty then my headlight. they smell pretty bad when I was working on the aliens.
I thought about losing the horn too. However, got to have those just for the purposes of getto cars cutting my lane and stuff.[:@]

Point the dv down so you dont have your hose going over the valve cover and it will make it look cleaner. Also, making the fitting to the intake black wont make it stand outlike its from Home Depot (which im sure it is).
