yea I just got done puttin mine in... It was a lil difficult but managable... It runs strong, but Im pretty sure its running way rich, I think my o2 is gone.. I got a evo3 16g turbo 2.5 " exhaust, 190lph walbro pump. hit me up if u need help

 

That's sweet to hear, Would my SMIC be supportive enough?

 

um.one question (newbeeish) how is stock turbo running at 17 psi slower than 16 g running at 13 psi ?

 

16g is a bigger turbo and flows more air. think about blowing through a coffee stirrer and blowing through a larger straw equally as hard. the coffee stirrer (stock turbo) is going to have more pressure(like running higher boost), but still flows less air because it is smaller. even though you may not be pressurizing the larger straw as much, it still flows more air, and more air m,eans more power. i suck at analagies but maybe it makes sense to some people out there

 

hard to say, where do you live. id say in colder climates and on lower boost it will be fine up until a point. if you live in cali or texas etc, and/or plan on running 17+psi, get the front mount asap. im sure you have noticed how much quicker you car is at night than day, its because the tiny stock ic cant cool the air well during the day efficiently

 

true dat.

like i said in the other post, my car ran better after i removed that plastic inner wheel liner. I live in So Cal, and yes, I definentally want a FMIC.
If i got a Front Mount before the 16G would it be compatible to both or would i have to change piping?
