Hey guys

i just recieved my AMS non race core fmic with the upper and lower intercooler piping it looks great very well put together

my question for you guys is it came with all the couplers to connect all the piping together but ti did not come with the couplers to actallu connect it to the intercooler itself

im wondering what you guys did? did you guys order ones from AMS or is it suppose to come with it

i dont get how i ordered the piping and the fmic but it did not come with the couplers to hook up the piping to the actual FMIC

I THINK they want you to retain the stock FMIC.

so you think they want to remain the stock couplers that go to the stock intercooler?

i wonder why that would be the core that i ahve form ams is awesome i pmed mark@ams i hope he gets back to me see what his opinion on it is

if thats the case then im good lol if not then i guess ill be needing to purchase couplers

the reaosn why ia sk is cuz i plan on goign bigger turbo and wondering if ill need to remove the sotck couplers to thicker ones or somethign

I have seen the stock Upper pipe handle 35R's, it adds like 3WHP and a touch of throttle response, nothing big man.

Stock couplers are very strong. You will need to upgrade clamps and thats about it.

you will use the stock couplers, they work just fine.

If you're looking for 2.5" 45 degree elbows I've got two samco ones for sale which I used on my AMS FMIC.

u need some couplers, and +++1 T BOLT clamps.... i installed my ETS FMIC yesterday... i got on it.... 24 lbs of boost... BOOM! the coupler flew away... soo be careful.

The ETS should have come with t-bolts. My friends did at least. Its amazing that the couplers that come on the Evo can handle 21+psi... I was blowing them off left and right on my SR20 w/ a T25 turbo and only 14psi. I highly recommend t-bolts just so you won't have any headaches trying to put your LICP back on on the side of the road. The couplers themselves are fine though.

I have stock couplers on 30psi, no problem.

Get Tbolt clamps.
