Question about Greddy FMIC setup

I am thinking of purchasing a Greddy FMIC, but before I do, I wanna know do I have to remove my power steering ? My battery is relocated in the back compartment and I know I have to cut a hole in the engine bay for the pipeing.

Mine has no ps or ac with a smaller battery in stock location. I saw someone with ps ac and stock battery, so I guess you can.

Just remember that the pipe at the throttle body hits the master cyl, so you need to trim some of it to create clearance. Because of that, the 2.75"x3"silicone coupler barely clamps on. It would b nice to have a 4" long coupler. Also the transition hoses they give you are made of rubber or soemthing and crack. You will want to get higher quality silicone transition couplers

no, you can keep your power steering, and the battery wouldn't be a problem in the stock location either. you do however have to remove the front bumper support .

Ok thanks that's good news. And once the front bumper support is removed, is there any way the bumper would fly off ? Or any modification I should do ?

Have a bov flange welded to one of the pipes, and get teh silicone transition hoses. Well, that can wait till later, but those rubber ones they give with the kit suck

mount the intercooler first, then figure what you need to cut to have your bumper fit back on nice
