I'm putting together my turbo setup. Now I'm looking for an intercooler. I've seen several member's FMICs. I currently have a 94-95 front bumper and I was going to measure the entire opening and buy an IC that wide. I want an IC that will take up the whole opening up front. Like I want it to cover the opening. But I was just remembering I'm going to get the 96-99 bumper and I have the fogs so I'm pretty sure the opening is smaller.
  So I'm wanting to know what the ideal dimensions for the 2 different style bumpers are. So that means anyone can post. If you've got a FMIC then let me know what dimensions it has. Thanks. --------------------  |

oh i got ya...
well, 6061 aluminum is known to work fine for ic piping, but your going to have to buy a lot more piping the what came with your cold air intake to do the job. i used stainles steal 2.25in piping on mine. it costs a lot, but looks great and will not rust on me. if you want to go the cheap way, buy aluminized steal, and paint it to help prevent rusting. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
