ToyoSport FMIC engine bay pipes. OEM look. pics inside

[jay1601]

had enough of the pipes going across the engine bay, took a look today to see what i could do to hide them as much as possible.

heres before

i started off by putting the standard audi intercooler 90 degree rubber pipe. connected to the toyosport pipe (turbo connecting pipe) turned on its side

this pipe (red arrow) i cut about a inch n 1/2 off the shorter leg. if you hold it up your see one it shorter then the other

cut that much off

the pipes will now line up perfectly, put in the silicone reducer and its all connected up

this is my engine bay now

much more OEM looking, i am at some point going to get the pipes welded together and repainted matt black

takes a fair bit of working and cutting to get them to fit behind the bumper

heres photos of the front pipes so they don't stick out.

standard TB to intercooler pipe

cut the silver pipe down in this photo to get the right shape

cut this pipe to get it to sit close into the car as possible

you can see the longer joiners i just for the pipes to connect to the intercooler

then you can see they don't even stick out as far at the impact bar

still need to shave a little bit of plastic off

passanger side

Did you need to loose the fogs? Im planning on doing this but im really not wanting to loose the fogs as ill end up (like yourself) with two holes and no fogs =/ I was thinking that I could get some mesh to cover them and use the passenger side one for a cold air feed.
Did you get an ebay FMIC kit?

 

[Dark Knight]

Same question about the fogs??? Also your bumper doesn't look to sit flush to the lights

 

[jay1601]

my car didn't have fog lights to start with. i fitted a facelift bottom half. i'm using the fog light holes to run cold air feed pipes

bumper wasn't on 100%. was only place on to take a photo to show the pipes fit behind the bumper grilles

This will be a definate plan for the near future didnt want to see all stainless pipework but now i no its do'able its a definate. Did the kit come with map sensor pipe?

 

[jay1601]

yeah it came with the pipe that had the MAP sensor hole on it. but i got rid of it as i don't have a MAP sensor
