i have an ebay FMIC now and im not at all pleased with the quality, fitment, or anything else...i had to do alot of cutting of the pipes and extreme modification
and i would much rather give a fellow owner the cash for their used one than shell out for a brand new one

cobb website, like tsn said

just so you know, at least on my car..the econ map makes it DOG slow, well compared to the power/launch control map...but the mileage is amazing

i used the power map for half a tank...145 miles...switched to econ im at 257 and still have a quarter tank left

Bro take the time to look over that link. It used to be SOLD on Ebay, not anymore. It is a good quality kit. Lots of folks run that kit including myself with NO fitment issues at all. Its the SSAC FMIC Kit. Its a Replica to the TurbO XS FMIC Kit, with similar charastics and look.

That kit Brand new you can get for $300 Shipped. Take the time to look it over and you will see.

ok, if you could, would it be possible for you to send/post some pics of it on your car?, as you can see from my engine pic its kinda a hacked looking job, also could you recommend the best vent to air BOV for the money? im sure i sound like a noob, i just dont know too much about subys yet, im learning more everyday
