New Recirc kit options for P2's, P2R's (and even P80's)

Hey Everyone I posted this up on Swedespeed and someone suggested that I should post this info over here too. We recently finished a complete overhaul on the P2 FMIC kit that revolved around a rebuild of the P2 intercooler.  The new intercooler is a made-from-scratch high density core with custom baffled endtanks and new upgraded mounting hardware.

Along with this change we layed out a redesigned 1.25" recirc setup that can be added to existing customers kits, new kits or customized for your setup. We are doing kits for people to adapt to the IPD setup as well. So whatever your needs are we'll try to make something work for you. 

I finished the layout for the the recirc and ultimately went with 1.25" recirculation line to easily accommodate anything up to 500 HP builds. The larger 1.25" line will help prevent the turbo flutter (back-pressure) that can ultimately destroy your expensive turbo upgrade. The 1.25" line will vent fast and can accommodate many different brands and variations of BOV's and recirc valves. 

We Stock the Synapse Synchronic BOV, Synapse Diverter Valve and the Turbosmart compact Diverter valve. All have 1.25" mounting bosses and 1.25" oultets. I'll go more into the BOV and DV options later. 

We designed and manufactured our own 1.25" billet aluminum recir boss that we can TIG to the upper charge pipe and the aluminum section of the intake pipe. Because we make the parts ourselves we can keep the cost down on this. There is still man hours into cutting welding and polishing and you have to be willing to pay a human to do that kind of custom work but we've made it as simple and as cheap as possible to add top-of-the-line recirc options without limiting you to a specific one brand or style like many other companies do. We also stock the bosses so if you want to do your own custom project just email me and we can get you the parts that you need. 

I don't have these options listed on the website so if you need something like what's shown below then please email me kristian@snabb.us and be patient we're a small shop and sometimes we get buried with work so it can take a couple days sometimes. I hate that but it's a reality until we get bigger and can have full time staff ready to answer emails and phones

Here are some pics of how I've set up the recirculation. This will work for all P2 vehicles and even P80's. The turbosmart BOV's will be coupled with a 1.25" ID silicone to the weld on boss but the synapse valves have their own weld on bosses so they mount very neatly to the pipe, look and sound great.

It's easier to install, and significantly more efficient.

Hmm  all I can say about that is great minds think alike!  Looks pretty sweet!

Looks good Kristian!! Will there be a fmic overhaul for the p80 cars in the future as well?

Thanks! Since there's no room to make that intercooler larger for bigger builds I'm designing an all new high density drop in intercooler for the P80's. We're almost done with the design process and should have a sample in a month or 2.
