Can you tell us why?
You do know that FD motors don't use AFM's, right?

FD UIM needs to be match ported to fit, and it gets really thin in a couple places.
At least one of the front bracket off the FD UIM needs to be cut off.
The FC stock oil filler pipe needs to be modified, or a stock FD short section off the center iron needs to be swapped in.
If you're using stock ECU, you'll need to splice the TPS wires.

i don't think u would see much power with the FD UIM, i think most of the time, its just for looks.

To me it's not worth it.
The FD TB might have slightly larger bores on the TB, but it hasn't been proven to make more power.
It's kinda hard for me to make a good comparison between stock versus FD set-up, cause the two cars that did it are running Haltechs.
We'd need to retune both set-up's to have any helpful data.
I don't want to waste my time doing this myself.
