yep got mine today also :)

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

LOL, nice pics, gotta watch out for the 'sneak' FMIC corn-hole attacks....

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

lol ;D

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

dam :'(. somethings not right. i got it installed and took it for a spin now my car only is boosting 7psi instead of 9.5psi where it used to be. and its boosting slower(more lag). i got the wastegate vaccuum line connected to the intake manifold so it should still stay at 9.5psi regardless of how much loss im geting at the intercooler, right? i dont think this fmic flows right. and my turbo is loud now like a loud as whistle.i checked all my piping with soap and it looks fine. i dont know what else to do or check. any suggestions before i go back to my trusty probe intercooler? maybe its the size??

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Shoulda bought a Tyrus intercooler.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

u think it may be leakin?? damn. i wonder if its gonna be better when i slap mine on. :(

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Ouch thats not good.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Support those that show support.

Is the turbo itself whistleing or is there a hole or loose connection that is causing the noise?

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Shouldn't you experience some boost loss with any intercooler?

If it sounds like a loud ass whistle, I'd say that's an upgrade! I mean, how many people can say they have that? ???

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Whist tips, dumbass. Remove it first.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

well im not sure whats gong on. i fixed the whistling its just cuzz i was ruingin without the filter.duh! but tomoro im gona take it apart agian and see if its leaking anywhere.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

I think it's the intercooler.
If it's a lot bigger then the probe one(never seen one) than it's just pressure drop from the big intercooler.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Sorry to hear you are having problems. 2.5 PSI pressure drop is a lot, I have never seen that kind of loss with one of these intercoolers, that, with the lag makes me think you have a restriction or a leak in your intercooler piping. Can you post pics of your setup so we can look for problems, some times a fresh perspective is all you need. What size piping are you running? What's it made from? Where is your boost guage hooked up? Are you geting a good reading? Does the car feel slower? You will experience a small amount of lag with a larger intercooler, just because there is more space to fill with compresed air, but it shouldnt be a lot. I know this is a dumb question but did you get all the packing material out of the inlet? I had a guy send one back once for a similar problem, only to find the inlet was packed full of shop rag, he admited he had put the rag in the inlet to keep the intercooler clean and forgot to take it out befor the install !

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

ok ive been up since 8am(well thats early for me!) and i found the dam problem. one of the couplers had a tear in it.i guess i messed it up during the install. :'( i would of never found it but my brother in law saw where the bubles were coming from.we used the soapy water technique to find the leak. so after replaceing it my pressure is back up to normal.but i still have a bit more lag than usual(its not as bad as before though) i guess thats expected though since this sucker is huge.and really its not so bad. i did notice a large difference though in power it feels like i got a lot more torque, my head keeps swinging back in third and fourth now so it definately made a difference!. ill put up pics later!YIPEE!! it looks fucken sweett!
i went from this.....

thanks customcoach, nice work!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

I'm glad you figured out the problem. It only takes one little thing like that to cause a problem! It looks great on the car. I'd appreciate it if folks could send me pictures when they have them installed. I'd like to use them on the new web site (which I hope to have up and running in a couple of weeks). We're going to be offering a lot of things on the web site in addition to the FMIC's to help the budget-minded enthusiast turbocharge their cars in the most professional way possible. This is my one and only business and my 365-day a year job so I'll be there when needed and have the time to produce a quality product.

Again, I appreciate everyone's business. If anyone has questions about their FMIC's, don't hesitate to ask - and send those pictures!!!

Customer service is a definite plus. It looks like you have one more happy customer to add to the list. :)

Hey it looks great on your car. Glad to hear you found your problem, I was scared there for a second but now I can't wait to get mine!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

Just want to reiterate here that I stand behind my product. A lot of sellers ship it out and that's it for them. If ANYONE has a problem - PLEASE contact me! I pride myself on excellent customer service. I have no doubts that everyone will be extremely pleased with the IC's (I'm perfect, didn't you know? :D) but I'm here if there are issues of any kind.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

thanks mark, ive been boosting all day today and everyting seems goood. i kinda felt bad for painting it black, it looked so good, but i definately dont want to be a cop magnet or have some idiot try to jack my car.

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

I was going to ask you if you painted it black or if the picture was just dark!

Anthony

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

i out a really thin coat of flat black. the backside is still the same so if i ever want to bling bling ill just flip it. lol ;D

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

I'm digging the sleeper look ;)

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
 

I put mine on yesterday, Custom coach's coolers look like the big Greddy units when installed on 99-00 civics. Looks great! Now the only thing I need is the actual turbo, and oil feed and I'm done! I'm buying a camera today so i'll get pics for all you fags. Late

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!

Re:GOT MY INTERCOOLER!!
