Intercooler Kit

RE: Intercooler Kit
Nope, you are correct to order the T25 piping. Just like you stated, they have the same housing as the T25.
I also suggest the short route piping.
Be ready to cut a leg off the radiator shroud too as the piping runs right into it. There isn't a downside to it as the fan is balanced and the remaining legs are really sturdy...you'll see when you go to cut it, lol.
Aside from that....I would suggest keeping as much as the radiator airflow shroud/scoop as possible. It will help keep the air coming into the front from blowing out of the sides. Take your time and do a lot of fitment checks. If I had planned my install out better and known what I know now back then, I would have cut very littel of it off, even the sides would have been enough.
It's a bit hard to see, but I've got it noted in my pic. I should have kept as much of that as I could....I just want to pass that along.

Again, keeping that would force the air through the radiator as opposed to spewing out of the sides and bottom.
I see a few DSM'ers stating the same "I wish I had kept..." comments.

I don't think it's vehicle specific. I've seen GSXs with those airdams while they were installing their FMICs.
My car also had an N/A V6 before the swap too, but I'm pretty sure that airdam isn't uncommon.
Yours could have been previously removed unless, you're the original owner?

RE: Intercooler Kit
Iappreciate all the help. I'm going with a ETS kit. And for BOV flange I am planning on running a Dual port BOV from Turbosmart. It comes with a 2g install kit too avoid welding but with a different IC kit this changes things. There is no option for a turbo smart flange is there another BOV that has the same size flange? Or does it not really matter? IDK
