So, lemme get this straight. To run more boost in a TII you need: Intake, exhaust, FCD, better intercooler, and appealing to a higher power?

Talk about taking it to church

But rly...you don't need anything special. Just plug n play.

All of the TMIC upgrade kits came with a TB adapter, since none of them use the stock outlet location. That said, those rarely get pulled along with the intercooler from whatever junkyard or Up Garage they were salvaged from in Japan, so you are most likely going to have to pay tohave a machine shop modify the stock TB elbow. I had the same problem when I bought my ARC TMIC.

TMIC sucks, even the upgraded ones. Do yourself a favor and get a front mount.

thats BS, an adapter would indicate a change in location or fitting, people run more boost on plastic elbows.
