Trust F2X Fmic?

I was recently doing my daily 'random browsing of the internet for parts' thing, and came across one of these. A Greddy/Trust F2X Fmic with FC piping and bov.

I was wondering if any of you can tell me anything about this type of fmic, or has had one themselves. It kinda seems like the type that would let me keep my fogs, but I'm not sure. Also, anyone able to tell me if it's at all a legit piece or a knock off? The core is 4inch, is this somewhat overkill? I'm aiming for 400ish whp, (being rebuilt and pinned after winter).
The place thats selling is willing to let it go for 500$Canadian, seem like a decent price or no?

That doesn't look like any Trust/Greddy kit I've seen for the FC. And FZX Garage appears to be an ECU tuner...nothing to do with the FMIC.

I'd contact the seller and ask for pictures of this thing installed and/or a model # to go off of before buying it.

I contacted the seller a long time ago to get a better deal but he wouldn't budge. It has been for sale for at least a year on ebay. The seller acknowledged that it is not complete and wouldn't lower the price or include that fact on his page. You'd have to do quite a bit of work to make that thing happen and you'd definitely need to have someone that could fab up the rest of the piping you would need.

I had one of those IC, mine had been modified ( cut, clocked, and welded back ) to exit on the drivers side otherwise that would normally aim towards the passenger side

even if it were the right IC $600 is a bit out reality

the end tanks on that one look different

Hm, not complete and having to get someone to fab piping sounds like too much hassle and extra costs for me. If I have to get that kinda stuff done I'd rather go v-mount. Thanks for saving me from disappointment!

I built my IC system for about 350 Cdn...so be patient and shop around.
..and I'll apologize to Rob before I say that it did look better than the pics of the stuff he posted..hahha!
Perosnally,It doesn't have to have Greddy or HKS on the parts to be effective...BUT some of my other parts were their "cousins"!

there are/were a lot of tuning shops that would buy the core from GReddy/HKS and then make their own kit out of it.

the core would sit under the hood latch, the tab on top goes in one of the holes in the bracket, probably. you would need to do a lot of cutting for that piping run though.

the GReddy core is small, but quite good
