The one I bought, isn't listed and it was for my rx-2. Search the forum to see what dementions will fit on the FC. There are many more on ebay, but I had personal expercience with this users product was extreamly satified.

Good luck.

you can see how i mounted it to the top two mount holes. that cross bar that runs across right under the headlights.... it is perfect to mount the top holes to. just hold it up and drill 2 bolt holes. as for the bottom i planned to make a simple little bracket out of something from homedepot.

when using this size core and mounting it where i did it lines up perfect with the bottom of the stock bumper "mouth", air inlet, or what ever you wanna call it.

only about 1/3 or so of it will show out the hole. so it would be a good idea to cut the bumper out some or its a waste. search for some pics of 1fastt2's car. thats what i plan to do.

im putting everything on now. bdc seems to think i should be able to get 400 easy on stock s4 ports.

my buddy neal ordered his to run on a bdc half bridge and bdc told neal he will get 500rwhp+

bdc seems to like this turbo... he has had good luck and made great numbers with it. i want to be one of the few running a 11 with a stock port s4 block.

i went with a divided fd manifold and a divided 1.00 a/r housing. i had to run one spacer to clear the lim. i actually got two spacers and might run them both to give more room but i doubt ill have to go that far. there is plenty of room for a heat shield.


ill do a full post on my setup and the numbers when i get it all done. im about 75% done... i just need hardware to bolt everything up and some vaccume lines.
