Lets see a how to on the install of these. Such as removal of the front bumper , and sid plate.

Thanks alot, and do these come with samco hoses, and T bolts.

Thanks

 

we are working on a how to. They do not come with "samco" hoses but they do come with Silicone couplers and clamps. plus a T-bolt for the compressor outlet pipe.

Got mine. But no instructions so I had to figure it out myself. It's not too hard but taking the stock lower intercooler pipe was a pain because of the two bolts that hold the pipe.

 

AMS lower pipe has minimal bends compare to stock. It has two bends, a U-bend that connects to the intercooler and a slight bend where it connects to the turbo pipe outlet. The stock has about 4 bends.
Now, I wish AMS will make the pipe that comes of the turbo since this pipe is pretty small and had to use a t-clamp since the hose is larger than the pipe. But once the t-clamp is tighten almost all the way, it fits tight.

 

did u onstall it without taking off the front bumper? if yes then how?

 

You gotta have small hands and lots of patience. You'll need a thin 12mm wrench. If it's long and have the angle head adjustment, it could make things easier I think. Took me 20min to take these bolts off. The one near the oil cooler was the hardest. I just loosened it and then unscrewed it with my hand while bending the plastic air guide infront of the oil cooler. I didn't feel like taking the bumper off which could of made it lot easier.
But once you get the stock pipe off, it's pretty easy to install the AMS pipe.

 

From the dyno graph, it shows the pipe delay the turbo spool up time alittle but gain in the top end. So do that mean lower ic pipe gain hp in the high rpm while you will slower turbo spool up?

 

Driving around for a week with the AMS LICP, car feels alot better overall. Much better power at upper RPM.
Now, I want to know if AMS is going to make the turbo outlet pipe since the stock one is smaller than the new lower piping. I had to tighten the t-clamp all the way to get a good seal.

 

based on my talk with AMS they said the turbo itself would need to be ported to be any bigger than the pipe that is attached to the turbo. And even doing that may not even give you a worthwhile gain or advantage for the time and cost required.

Glad to see their LICP is working for you!
