Yup!

Yeah i feel we're missing something her buddy

Yup thats all you need.

just asking , some of the hks ones have a plastic bottle and a long u shaped pipe thing any clues is that one worth the money

Thought the pipe kit had to be 3.5"?? or am I talking jibberjabber?

edit: ohhh scarey, this post was number 666

That guy seems to have a lot of BL stuff for sale. I bought a BL exhaust pipe from him before Xmas, but its not been delivered yet. From his emails he seems like a genuine guy, but I'll let you know how things go as i've been waiting over 2 weeks for him to ship it...

BTW, you'll also need a smaller expension tank (I think a corrolla and many other small car ones can be made to fit). You may also need a new pipe for the PAS cooler (Though some find the stock one still fits).

i live 20 mins away from himand agreed to pick it up from his house is the bl stuff good will them pipes go straight on no cutting pipes etc if i get them ill ask about yourbits homer

so he's selling it to you? But the aution is still running

if i win ill pick it up the postage is expensive hes got 30.00 pounds delivery on a walbro pump

Yeh I thought £60 was a bit steep! and £30 postage for a fuel pump is out of order imo

Thats cool, if he's local to you and willing to let people pick up he's going to honest He charegd £50 delievery on the pipe, but thats probably about right.

TBH I'd never heard of BL making an IC until now, but you can bet its going to be a good bit of kit.

i sent 4 wheels/tyres for 34.00 of a courier on ebay and theres one on ebay doing 30kg max for 5.99 in uk http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UK-NEXT-DAY-PARCEL-DELIVERY-SERVICE-30KG-MAX-5-99_W0QQitemZ200065776019QQihZ010QQcategoryZ121879QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200065776019

I believe that the intercooler is ONLY for an NA-T conversion:

Which would mean, if I'm not mistaken, that some of the pipes wouldn't fit a TT application.

so can you confirm the TT needs 3 1/2 inch pipes for a FMIC? This is what I've been led to believe from other FMIC's for sale

nice one cheers but i thought you could use 2.5 pipes to 3 inch pipes on the tt

Bob's right, this is for an NA-T, his old sales shows he had a BL NA-T kit for sale last week. The pipework won't work with the TT, the routing is completely different

The ebay fmic I have is 2.5" from turbo to IC, then 3 or 3.5" to the TB (not sure which)

The BL intercooler should fit, and is rated to 750bhp so shouldn't pose too much of a problem - you'll need some different pipework for the routing and connecting though. The core itself would be fine.

Bit odd of him not to state that its for a NA-T

I've had my eye on this for a while, but can't make my mind up whether its a load of rubbish of not, any views/opinions guys?

Engineered end tanks, my arse. It's a cheap Chinese one like the rest of the ones on ebay. They work and they look okay, but you get what you pay for (and this is coming from someone who has a cheap ebay one!)

And from what I can tell from previous threads and word of mouth, the seller (Ultimate Velcoity) is a pillock.

lol ok, I shall not bother then... *sigh* still on the lookout for a cheapish FMIC

What cheap ebay make is yours then? Looked at the XS-Power ones for a similar price, are they any good?

Its the same story with all the Chinese ones mate, they're good value for money but none I've seen so far have great cores or end tanks.

My Greddy 3row had over a 3rd more 'rows' in the core (Not sure what they're called!) and the end tanks were over twice the size as the 3 row XS power one I got with an XS power turbo kit.

IMO the best 'quality' VFM are the Greddy and HKS 2 row kits.

So for your needs the XS power one wasn't up to the job, but for somone like me who wants the 'look' and only going BPU would it be suitable?

OR would I be better spending £300-ish on a decent SMIC from one of the traders on here?

To be quite honest the XS power one would be fine on my T67, but it's a compromise on quality.

What you go for really depends on your aim's, if you are happy with BPU then absolutely stick to the side mount, even a small single (T61/PHR stage 1) will be fine on something like the CW one. Bigger than that and it time to look for an fmic.

If you're just after "the look" then the XS ones are absolutely fine to use.
