I was thinking of getting a used supra SMIC but then i found this and it said that it will bolt right up and i can use my IC pipes. What do you guys think of this? I have a 95 so i cant use a FMIC without a new bumper. Im still using the stock turbo but i plan on it going bye bye in the spring. So would this be good?

well the bull-eye power one is a bit smaller but to me just from looking at it seems like a better fit than the first one you posted.

yea i think im going to order the Bull-eye one today. Now that will work with my stock turbo right? I plan on putting in a 16g in the spring. I just dont want to have to chop up my bumper or get a '99 bumper to put in a FMIC.

So what im asking is

A. Will i get a little better performance with my stock turbo + this?
B. Will i loose power because im only using the stock turbo?
C. Will this work well with the 16g?
D. How would this + a 16g compare to a FMIC + a 16g?

Im actually going to order from these guys cause they are cheaper

Damn. The price of this IC really went up. I personally don't think it's worth the performance gain you'll get with it.

well with the t25 your not gonna see much of a performance gain but once the 16g is in there thats when your gonna need it.

And how would it compare to a FMIC as far as the 16g goes

For that price, you can buy a FMIC from Extremepsi.com. Is it for a 1g or 2g? Its $475 with the piping. Thats the one i am going to get.
