    1. Its Ebay
    2. Its far to cheap to be a quaility piece
    3. There is probably a 1% chance of the piping lining up correctly
    4. That is a BIG ASS CORE...im not even sure if you can fit that under the stock bumper
    5. It says you gain HP
    6. It has JDM Coated Pipes (not powdercoated, JDM Coated )
    7. Its Ebay
    8. Did i mention its Ebay?

    Thats about all i can come up with...although they do say they have a 7 day return policy. At that price id buy one just to see if it really even comes close to fitting

    actually ive delt with something like this before, you pay them to get a website of where to get the parts for very cheap, its a rip, your paying for someone to do a search for you

    ^ that too FMIC is only good if you have everything else done, you wont' gain anything and possibly will loose power w/ it... but it will make a difference in the car as far as response/air flow; its just $$$ vs. Pros/Cons... to me it looks better than its use - cause on those hot summer days that bad boy will get quite heat soaked sticking out of the frontend and w/o have a nice BT to really utilize it you are just robing your car of HP w/ it.

    A second OEM IC is more than enough surface area for a K03/K03s. The bigger IC= pressure loss, even though they save pwr to heat soak. Most manufacturers that do big turbo kits, do a FMIC w/ them....ever noticed they arent real big?!
    My FMIC on the jetta gained 2 lbs of boost due to better piping that was also shorter, and more efficency. I am the 1 in a million.
