Does anyone have a hybrid FMIC that they installed themselves? The ebay one I got does not fit and im thinking its in my best interest to have spent the extra $100+ to get one that does..thats if is does. The issue I have with my china spec is the turbo pipe and the throttle body pipe is bent in the wrong places and wrong angles it doesnt even meet up with the throttle body...in order to have this shit connected the silicone hoses are under a bullshit amount of stress...my fuel lines are hard up on it it needs fabricators to install it and cut/weld as its getting done..and im stuck as I sold my tmic brackets so I cant even get the car to a workshop to do that..and I dont wanna do that so anyone got one of these:

Just want to know if you installed it yourself and if u had any issues with the piping..before I go ahead and buy one..dont want to end up with 2 new intercoolers that dont fit

For all that i know my Hybrid FMIC went on without much hassel. Although i had a workshop install it it doesnt seem do have needed any cut and weld job on it. Get a geniune Hybrid fmic, unfortunatley you get what you pay for especially from ebay.

Most of those eBay kits don't fit properly.....I've seen a number of them which require cutting of pipes and re-welding to get them to sit in the right spot.

Ends up costing the same as a decent fitting intercooler kit.

yeh...thanks..just looking at it hurts my eyes..perfect condition just needs to be in the hands of someone with a welder and keen to make it work as it should..time to sell it me thinks

OK finally got my hands on a HDI cooler kit! the piping went on like it should 'thank God' and thanks to Willo and his bro but I need some advice on how the cooler is to mount..

Pics below show..its almost as tho the screws provided are too short but as the cooler does not sit inside the under between the lips of the support bracket it would also need spacers to go with the longer screws you will see the hight is justified by the RHS (throttle body side) piping as this cannot move up at all or the piping moves up and will hit the underbonnet the LFS (turbo side) can move down a little.

Is there some plate thing that is to go under the beam as a spacer maybe? or should I just be getting longer screws and some mad ass spacer washers?

Please suggest preferably if you have had this same experience..

Bump...help needed?

That doesn't look like it fits properly..

u mean the piping or the tank? there is no way for the tank to go under that beam..even the old cooler I had wouldnt..but it had higher thread thingos so it was able to bolt up ok?

longer bolts & spacers imo

Does the FMIC main core have a hybrid logo stamped into it? Up top that is.
