Part numbers:
FMIC, PN 13001-bm001
Top pipe with Hks BOV, PN 71001-xm002

HKS USA is such a BS how many ppl will change just their top pipe ? I've seen HKS in Japan and Hong Kong have all the piping along with the intercooler kit , this is what i think our USDM EVO have bigger battery and doesnt fit their top pipe so they made up their excuse .

PS : But no matter what i still love and wont mind have all the HKS parts in my car

cuz they know what they doing

I was told they make the upper pipe as well and you can keep the stock battery. It just does not come with this IC kit.

The metal bumper support bar has to be completely removed to intall the HKS FMIC but on the positive side it fits perfect without having to cut the front bumper at all.

Thanks for the pictures. I just hope this IC kit is not overkill for the stock turbo.

A friend of mine bought it, because of an accident and he told me that it is a little overkill for the stock turbo in some sense, what I did noticed on mine is that I picked up 2lbs front stock to this intercooler.
