I'm gonna rebuild my engine in late winter.
I have low CR Diamond pistons that I'm putting in. I'll also mildly port (clean-up) the heads and fit the larger 3L valves.
Obviously I will be upp'ing to 42# injectors, an INTERCOOLER, and a GT28RLS.

Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55
AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70
Gutted pre-cats $80/set
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

One of you turbo gods HAS to figure out a FMIC. I think it would look deadly on one of our cars. I know it's been said that it isn't possible, but that right there would be the motivation to make the impossible happen.  -SAV

Who cares about looks over function. Oh nevermind there is a whole crowd about that.  
A FMIC would choke off the airflow to the radiator  and you would have to lose the A/C system as well.
Neither of which I would recommend nor would myself even remotely consider.
Well actually I did consider it remotely but came to the same conclusion over and over hence this information.

I've got no A/C in my Turbo tour, unfortunately I'm done putting money into it so I'll let the next owner figure out a FMIC.

You want to know the worst part about it. It was for a supercharger setup idea I had once...  Shhhh... Don't tell anyone I used the S/C word...

I think it would ONLY work, after spending a weekend under the car, if we extended the bumper farther out (j/k!). . .but like Demon said, it would completley choke off the radiator, and you NEED ALL OF THE AIR you can get to cool anything this powerful and hot off. . . .
On a more ricey note, I like the "heat exchanger that looks like a mini FMIC" look on my car, I'll take a pic and post if no one knows what I'm talking about. . .
And on a more functional horsepower note, Demon you think it would be a worthwhile upgrade to remove my driver's side fog light and add a air scoop directed towards the 7" K&N? Should I use a larger air filter to squeeze out a little more? What was that calculation for size of filter and cfm?

ssmumich00 I think with the power you have you should try to get it to the ground. I know you have no grip 1st through 3rd with that much power. I run 13 psi and spin tires all through third even on top third. Have you ran your car at the track yet. I think the intercooler you have is well suffice because I am still using the smaller core running 13 psi with no pinging or heat problems. The intercooler he has is definitly better than an Air to Air. I am adding Water injection to mine tomorrow and going try to push 15 psi through it watching My EGT like a hawk.
