OK I started my FMIC install yesterday (for those of you that saw my SMIC + FMIC thread). Here are some pictures of the install. My question is, after looking through about 8 different guides on FMIC installs, the only guides that even mentioned the boost sensor from the stock intercooler were the premake kits from companies which have a hole in the pipe to accomodate. What do people with the eBay kit do about the boost sensor? Also, for the passenger side - do most people just run to the stock rubber pipe that goes up to the turbo? Thanks for the help.

the "thrust sensor" needs to be attached..... liefer, i think it was.... used jb weld..... i had a bung made/being made for mine, will show pix, when the car is back


as for the other.... my sap is being relocated... again liefer, i think..... took his sap out and ran through that hole.......https://www.audiforums.com/m_810844/tm.htm

 

yeah i just drilled a hole for mine and jb welded it in there. works fine. i also used the stock tube from the turbo yes.

 

what's a sap?

 

secondary air pump, it's the black thing on the passenger side of your car

 

OH ok, yeah that's the pump that I ran the tiny filter to when I put on my evoms. Cool I'll try to do this:

 

The thing on the drivers side = MAP sensor. You need a map sensor flange. Then you drill a hole in the piping and weld it on. If you have steel piping, get a steel flange, and alum to alum, that way you don't have to ghetto-JB weld it.

The thing on the passenger side = SAI/SAP. Secondary air injection/intake/pump, whatever you wanna call it. You can delete it, but the n112 valve needs to have a resistor placed in it to fool your ECU so you don't get a CEL from having it removed from your car.

 

Here's a link to a map bung.....

I hope to have an awnser to the resistor that needs to be on the n112 valve, unless someone has already done that?

 

by the way, what is the measurements of your fmic?
