Fmic Question

[boxpin]

Installing the FMIC. I am looking at the front tow hook. Does that need to be cut off?

I think so, unless you go below it.

cut it, mine was ripped off when we were attempting to pull it out of a ditch (in my s70)

but the lack of hook came very handy when i was putting in my FMIC 6 months later

didn't have to cut mine. i have plenty of room to work down there. what i(we, really) did was put a 90 degree coupler before the hook, and another one to connect to the pipe that goes up to the turbo.

2.25 piping didn't have to cut mine.

Mine was done with 2 1/2 " piping. You can do it without cutting the tow hook.

I cut the backsupport and rewelded it. Thats with 3" piping though. 2.5" piping can be done with modification to the tow hook depending on the fmic size.

2.25" piping, no cutting.

2.5 Inch no cutting :)

It can be done but it depends on where the inlet is placed on your intercooler. Might work... might not. Good luck!

I installed mine while cutting the back support. I wanted to keep it there for looks.
