well i purchased an FMIC from another member on here and had the FMIC on for a couple weeks now and today the hotside pipe came off. This is what I found.
images are clickable.
Sorry for the crappy pics as the digital camera is with the girlfriend and the cell phone is all I have at the moment. I'll try and get some better pics up.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what could I do to resolve this??? Thanks
Is the pipe on the intercooler oval it is hard to tell in the pics? Check to make sure the intercooler where the bolts are is all the way down also loosen the mount on top and push all the way back toward the radiator. Also check to make sure the motor mount on the top right is all the way back toward the firewall you can loosen the bolt and push the top of the motor toward the firewall. If the mount is forward the engine will be lower in the front. let me know. If you want you can call or I can call and talk you threw this thanks willy
Well i think i found the problem...It looks like the FMIC is warped if i lay it down flatm, face down it rocks or teeter totters(SP) back and forth..... Ill get some pics up in a bit. maybe even a vid.
The cores are not always flat unless it has been hit in a accident give me a call.
