Putting on a FMIC
 
In order to put on a FMIC, you have to remove something infront of your radiator. What line is that called? And if someone can help me out with the "relocation" part, that would be awesome.

its called the power steering cooling line. Its a metal line that loops around in front of the radiator. The easiest way to get around it would be to cut the line and replace it with a rubber hose and clamps.

There are some kits that you dont need to do that.

You may need to change one of your fans to a slim fan .

No hes saying you just need to make it flexy... so.. make it a rubber hose so it can go around it :)

yea but you do take the cooling part out of it in the process. But dont worry there really is no side affects. I had a rubber hose on mine for a while without any problems/changes

could you use something like an oil cooler for the power steering fluid?

im sure you could. You would need a crap load of fluid to fill it though. I say its a pointless expence

if the PS fluid doesnt get cooled...will it damage the system or will it just work slightly worse?
