you got a problem with me...swearing at another member is stupid
when you get a smic or fmic what do you have to do? just install it and whamo you are ready for the road? no you have to get charge piping from an intake, to the compressor on the turbo, from the comperssor on the turbo to the intercooler, from the intercooler to the tb (and have bungs welded on for several things such as map sensor, pcv, bov)...you also have to fashion a downpipe as just an hf/cx manifold and adaptor just connects a turbo to the engine...now you have to vent it and also connect the o2 sensor, and i'd advise to get a 2nd o2 sensor for the wideband or o2 guage as running wires from the stock o2 sensor doesn't give accurate reads
that's where that $300 comes from as you have to connect everything...you can get dsm smic cheap as shit but they mean squat until you use them
think i don't know what i'm talking about?...this is my current turbo project i'm working on including road racing it and not to mention other homemade projects i've worked on and raced at tracks (cooling and reliability become paramount)

i'm a pretty easy going mod here and understand that not everyone has to agree with each other but say
FUK to me or another member again and we'll have words later!...so get over your attitude and ego
