Plenty of people have replaced the stock TMIC with a FMIC and use a N/A hood.

what did you need to know???

I mostly wanted to see one. I thought it would look much cleaner. Also I was wondering if the scoop would still serve any function.

sorry about the search, most pics when searching don't work at least 75% of the time so I am really discouraged to search for pics.

(75% of the pics have been removed, not 75% of the time they don't work)

Oh, how a Greddy Elbow would look with your setup Mark. Unfortunately, they don't come seperately.

Dude, why don't you just look at a picture of a NA? Same thing.

What you should/could do is what Scott did. That revers scoop looks really good and could be functional.

Oops. My definete wrong. But now looking at It again, how nice the EB would look with the piping running continously, without the rubber elbow.

The rubber connector looks like something custom to compensate for P/S, as the kit itself, in provided form, won't easily fit a car equipped with P/S.

I don't like the greddy front mount kit because you have to lose the fog lights

That's the FMIC that http://www.rotorworx.com.au do for the FC. Pretty much as big as you can fit without doing major mods to the front of the car.

Yeah, both the one in the pictures I posted and mine (my car is red) we cut and had the tubeing rewelded that came with the kit in a couple of places to fit in the battery, and the power steering.

I also had to cut my bumper supports slightly, so that the metal frame would fit back under there and in front of the intercooler.

Both his car and mine are 'verts though and came stock with the light alum N/A style hood.
