F80 style front bumper and aftermarket FMIC
Planning on slapping on a new FMIC (prolly VRSF Race) along with Pure's Stage 2 ( ). Anyone know if there are any modifications needed for aftermarket FMICs with the F80 style bumper? It's from Selma if that makes any difference.
Thanks! |

We have had couple fitment issues Since OP car is RWD, he will probably go with VRSF CP to match his FMIC

Our chargepipe works with both the stock FMIC and every available aftermarket intercooler including the ER.
Our FMIC also works with the stock CP as well as every aftermarket chargepipe except the ER. Why it doesn't fit the ER we really can't say but we suspect it's due to the way they machine their flanges. I'd prefer if their part was universal and fit every intercooler to make the customer's life a bit easier but unfortunately we can not control their product design. We'll try and get one of their pipes in stock soon so we can figure out the best way to resolve the compatibility issue. |

Yes, but ER makes a charge pipe for the FMIC to throttle body and a charge pipe for the turbo to intercooler. Just wondering if there are fitment issues with both of ER's charge pipes or just the FMIC-->TB ER charge pipe.

It seems like any ER chargepipe isn't going to fit the 5" HD or the 6" Race intercooler until we revise the next batch to accommodate their pipe.
We don't generally recommend a turbo to intercooler pipe simply because it isn't a restriction nor is it prone to failure. Money can be better spent elsewhere. |

We're making an adjustment to the intercooler to suit the ER. Our chargepipe, the OEM chargepipe and every other chargepipe has proven to fit. It's something to do with ER's product. |

I know they fit well, hell I have them. I'm not referring to the body throttle pipe, I was talking about the TIC connection from the race IC to the ER TIC pipe that has fitment issues also I guess. BUT as long you are working on a TIC pipe, is all good for me. I'll get it.

Bad timing for me then I guess because I want everything to go in during my appt. on the 27th and it doesn't sound like it will be ready. |

ER TIC pipe fit VRSF Race FMIC fine. ER charge pipe did not. Glad I bought the VRSF charge pipe just in case.
