    Racetec FMIC... did I get the right kit?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I got my Racetec fmic and plan on having it installed on Friday. Tonight I took everything out of the box to check it out and I have a couple of questions. What I have in front of me does not look like what is pictured on their website (same picture used in the group buy post).

    Here is what their website shows:





    And here is what I have:








    Here are the observations I have:

    1. None of the piping is polished like they have pictured. No big deal, if you read the description you’ll notice they don’t mention that they are polished… I can live with that.
    2. Now for the passenger side piping, from the turbo to the fmic. Instead of one pipe I have two; I assume that they made it two pieces for easier installation. However, no matter how hard I try I can’t get the pieces in front of me to achieve the same shape as in the picture. The location of the bung seems all out of whack and in their picture where you see the straight section at the top of the picture; I don’t see how I can make up that distance without any additional straight silicon hoses.
    3. Now we move over to the driver’s side. Similar problems over here, the pipe I have seems much shorter than the one pictured, and the bung is on the opposite side of the pipe if I try to align it in the same was as they have it pictured.
    4. They show 3 silicone pieces, all straight. I have 4, two 45’s and two straight.

    Please help me.

    I think that you have to ask for polished piping. yah have the right kit, the extra cut helps with the install

    Something else I noticed... my core doesn't have "Race Tec Engineering" anywhere on it like the picture in the bottom right (from their website):

    Yes, you got the right kit. The extra cut is the ease install and the sticker in the picture is for advertisement purposes.
