Thanks Jake, appreciated :)

 

I actually went through a company called Flying-Performance, they advertise in Ebay as well, but got a free BOV with mine, doesnt sound to bad either....

However, their not the most communative bunch, depsite you transfering money into their account and asking when delivery was started to turn into a bit of a headache, but their Ebay comments seem to refelct the same, good product, got delivered, shame about communication. And the BOV was left out of the original order, so that had to be re-sent.....

They're cheaper direct from the manufacturer though. $555 delivered, last time I looked.

 

I dont think mine was much more, at the time I didnt actually know about Hybrid and who they were, I purely bought this through Ebay as a quick and cheap measure, still it only came to £450 delivered from Oz, so in comparrison to what you pay for a Greddy etc, I was more then happy........but thanks for pointing that out now Jake, its always after aint it :p

 

EDITED: the prices must have been lowered, they werent that cheap last year. Plus their Ebay adverts were never in Sterling, they only advertised from the .au side I think.......

No, its a greddy 3 row (complete kit)

Just saw yours and your prices.

Paid a lot more for mine

But it is a lovely bit of kit with good instructions and very good fit

 

I think you got a good deal there mate

I very mouch doubt their built to the same quality as a Greddy, but for the money they cost. I had someone look over them first and they said for the price their a reasonable bit of kit.... ;)

You wont go too far wrong there :thumbs:

Best of luck with it

 

In your earlier posts you say you noticed a difference when you put on your new fmic

 

To be honest I havent noticed any difference with mine. But then again I havent pushed it at all. Just a guick test just to be sure I had everything back together.

Its been flogging rain here all day

Might get to try it out on the way home from work this evening ;)

What iv heard and read.

Its best to become a member at the

 

http://www.hybrid-power.com

 

And buy directly from them.

Since they are even copys of the Hybrid one.

They are the retail sellers, so iv heard.

 

Think you even get a discount for 5-10% for members on that site.

And they offer DHL delivery for 3-4 days i think ?

 

Read some about that from http://www.supraforums.com

I never noticed any difference when going from the standard side mounted intercooler to a FMIC, and the swapping again for the Hybrid one. An IC wont increase power, as such, but I took it that all my IC's have been in a fairly good state, otherwise Im sure you would notice a difference going from a knackard SMIC to a new FMIC......

my old one was a bit on the sad side, although not too bad

The light metal honeycomb between the air tubes just crumbled at a touch

I think it was still air tight though

 

Anyway a fmic does look good and will be there for when I decide to upgrade the turbos :D
