Ill have to try and get my camera in the spot for you. Its really easy if you look at the link posetd in page one they directions show where you need to make the cut. I ended up going with the autobahn 88 kit. Im suber happy with the kit and for $450 it was priced just fine.

Ok so with the new ic and the ecu my Type S can no longer hold boost. Iv made the spring tighter and that didn't work. I then took the BOV apart and cleaned it out. It still doesn't hold boost. I here there is a spring that can replace the two but I don't know where I can find it. any help would be great.

To take off the front bumper there is 3 screws on each side holding the bumper to the fenders. I just turned my wheel and pulled the liner out and there is 2 right there and 1 at the very top. Also need to remove the bolts holding the undertray/lip under the bumper and the mounting plate in the engine bay. 1 screw for each of the turn lamps also.

All the info that I have read on installing this FMIC leads me to believe that I will have to change to a smaller battery and maybe even change my intake setup!
Another couple of Qs:
1. I have the a HKS intake, im not sure but I think its a powerflow or something. Its an old model with twin intakes and longish 3inch wide black rubber tubing. Q is will I have to change this to the Greddy AirNX????
2. I have seen many pictures of the smaller battery (PC680 or whatever its called) In all the pics of the smaller battery I have seen it looks like it has female connections that would not mate with the stock power lead lug setup!Q is how does the PC680 mate up to the stock pos/neg power leads that connect to a normal battery??
Sorry if these Q's are a bit simple...but when I go to do this mod I want to be ready!!
Thanks.

So you just replaced the rubber HKS tubing with intercooler type tubing then?? What tubing did you use and where u get it??
I know that the stock front bumper has to be cut to get the Greddy M spec in!!
Can anyone tell me if I will still have to cut into this aftermarket Vertex front bumper to install the Greddy M Spec FMIC??
Thanks.

if you are using another type of rebar for your vertex bumper, such as the 99 spec rebar(for 99 spec bumper). then you will need to cut into it according to where you mount the intercooler.

I just purchased this replacement intake piping kit from RX7store http://www.rx7store.net/category_s/107.htm will this do the trick or will it need modification aswell??
Also, What cutting/bending tools will need?
Looked at the Greddy installation booklet and find it hard to see what it is talking about at times, especially the shaded areas....getting worried??

So I got the car back together today before work. Started up ran fine. Took it down the road and once the 2nd turbo kicked in the intercooler pipe can out of the boost tubes. Put it back in place did it again and same thing. The clamps they gave me suck I had the same problem with the upper rad hose when I was filling it. So after work I have to go and getter better clamps to hold the tubes in place.
On a good note when the first turbo was going it felt really good.

I agree, it does make a world of a difference. Mine felt so much smoother, especially at top end. Clean install, looks good!
