Silver Scooby Sport 19 March 2006, 10:51 Hi Peter, Firstly who is doing it for you, have they done one before ? scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 10:54 autostop in bridgend yes they have fitted fmic's but i think its there first on a scooby. Hi Peter, Firstly who is doing it for you, have they done one before ? DannyBoy007 19 March 2006, 11:13 Have you got all the pipes you need???? What FMIC have you got and is designed for your year of car??? If it's for a later model 98 onwards you'll need to get a 90 degree bend for the turbo pipe and they'll need to cut the pipe due to your 90 degree turbo outlet compared to the front entry of the 98 onwards. I had to purchase a 38mm -25mm reducer for the dump valve and a 51mm streight hose to connect to the turbo as the hybrid kit doesn't come with it. You'll need to check the kit and the pipes to make sure you have all the bits. Make sure they don't rush the bumper, we took about 3 hours cutting mine and there isn't alot left when you've finished scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 11:16 hi guys i got the fmic from this group buy http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=499380 DannyBoy007 19 March 2006, 11:32 hi guys i got the fmic from this group buy http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=499380 As his insustructions say, you will need to cut the pipe, make sure you have the extra pipes to reconnect and I'm 99% sure you need a 90 degree bend or you won't be able to connect the pipe. I'm sure in either the members gallery or the tech section there are some photos and advise on what you will need, I remember seeeing them around the time we did mine scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 11:35 danny could you tell me where i can get the extra pipes from? peterAs his insustructions say, you will need to cut the pipe, make sure you have the extra pipes to reconnect and I'm 99% sure you need a 90 degree bend or you won't be able to connect the pipe.

You'll need to measure your dump valve pipe, some are 22mm some are 25mm. just double check on the intercooler pipe work what size the off take is for the reducer, mine was 38mm and mine is a Hybrid one, not sure about the autoban ones. I used an after market VTA dump valve off a 97 car, but you can use the standard one All the pipes seem about right to me. but I can't confirm 100% as my car isn't an My96 scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 14:55 danny can you tell me what the 51mm straight pipe is for. Silver Scooby Sport 19 March 2006, 15:11 danny can you tell me what the 51mm straight pipe is for. If I remember correctly it's the lower blue one on this picture ? scrubbed that wrong picture ! DannyBoy007 19 March 2006, 15:13 danny can you tell me what the 51mm straight pipe is for. Mine was not included in the pack, it connected the turbo to the intercooler pipe, you'll use a 90 degree bend instead, but you need a hose to connect the other end of the cut part. if your kit comes with this hose you won't need to buy one. scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 15:32 thanx danny for your help. :thumb: Mine was not included in the pack, it connected the turbo to the intercooler pipe, you'll use a 90 degree bend instead, but you need a hose to connect the other end of the cut part. if your kit comes with this hose you won't need to buy one.

DannyBoy007 19 March 2006, 18:05 i am going to have it fitted another day as one of the pipes are not in stock. :mad: Which pipe is out of stock? Gutted for you, but as SSS says, bring it along and we'll have a good chat about it, you can have a good look under mine and Simb2 bonnetts(we both have the hybrid ones) scoobypeterpump 19 March 2006, 20:08 38mm-25mm straight reducing length for dump valve is out of stock and currently have a map done by andy f.but i changed the turbo last month and now car is not boosting as before.
