Default Cuda kit w/ Turbo

Just curious if a FMIC would get enough cold air past the Cuda kit?

Thanks.

Not unless you did some ducting work. You'd need to combine the air from the two large side vents into a "chamber" that was sealed off, forcing the air to go through the FMIC.

Either that, or add some bottom ducts to force air UP into the intercooler.

See, that's what I'm worried about with the MPS style kit. If I get that and go turbo, is there enough open space in the front?

Well I have exactly what you are asking about! I am going to do exactly what Random mentioned. But my Alpine turbo kit has been running fine without any mods so far. I do plan on increasing boost this summer after upgrading clutch and fuel pump. So I will be fabricating a "ram air" setup for the intercooler. I will post pics once I have it all done! smile.gif
