why not just buy Ebay pipes and a core off Ebay also and do it yourself?? we are always here to help and its not that hard. a welding shop will weld a flange for your BOV when your ready for that part. just have a spare DD (daily driver) car so that you can have the down time needed to do it right.

Ebay actually sells the pipe that has a flange for the bov now. Basically just need a buzz saw to shorten the pipes. Mines holding above 10 easily.

1. Buy the Ebay kits to save money
2. buy Higgi's TB elbow (greddy copy)
3. end up with a lighter, cheaper, equally good FMIC at a fraction of the cost. With Ebay cores getting better and better every month you cannot go wrong.

BNR is a direct bolt-on to the stock turbo.

Since no one else mentioned it, have you upgraded your radiator? Once you throw that big ol FMIC in, your stock rad will not be very happy, esp if you still have the AC condenser in front of it.

Also, DIY or buy one from the for sale section. You shiny new core will not be nice looking for long if its a street driven car.

Don't forget about the oil cooler getting less cold air too.

I never thought the greddy kit was designed well. Half of it is behind the bumper OUT of the stream of cold air so how efficient can it really be?

The pipes are sweet though. I want those big, mandrel bent Greddy PIPES.
