Thanks To Harvey r.e. FMIC and ported headers
Just thought I'd put up a post thanking Harvey Smith for the work he has done on my car over the last week.
He was looking for a new shape car to fit his FMIC on and so I volunteered my car and while he was at it I asked him to port my headers.
My car is an JDM MY03 WRX Sti.
I now have the car back and the work looks to be of a very high standard, professional looking and at a reasonable price
I had fitted;
FMIC
CAIK
BOV
Ported OEM Headers (for twin scroll)
full 3" exhaust fitted.
EGT probe fitted.
Just need to get a re-map now to benefit all the mods
I must also thank Paul Stabler Tuning for assisting in the fitting of these mods.
I will see if I can get some pics up tommorrow of the engine bay.

Link Changed now and should work.

Hi Damian
So I take it that was your car up there on Friday.
I had a look at your headers with Paul before they were fitted, and harvey had done an excellent job, as always
The intercooler also looked like a nice piece of kit. Well made, good cross sectional area, but also quite deep with a relatively open fin pattern to allow good airflow across. I had a peek inside it too and again it looked the business, with a relatively open core but lots of fins to maximise cooling efficiency.
The wing mounted induction setup that comes as part of the kit looked spot-on too
I take it you'll be driving off boost until you get it re-mapped, because I'm sure that CAI kit will offset your MAF a fair amount.

Yep running it pretty much of boost most of the time. Overtook someone on the way home and reached 0.9 bar It's not a problem for me not to run any boost until re-map as most of the time I am in traffic commuting to work.

It does indeed
My car was the first to be done so the price won't be the same for others.
If you e-mail Harvey Smith he will advise of costs.
