How do you install FMIC without cutting bumper support on a FOZ?mine has been over hacked lol but in searching for proper install etc it seems common for people to cut bumper support to make fit.

You have to use a tiny little core.

It sucks a lot because the tiny thin flexible sheet-metal bumper support is considered part of the front collision structure, so you can't alter it if your car has airbags.

Has anyone ever had smoke come out from intercooler after taking it off and putting it back on? And should I remove the filter from the oil feed banjo bolt? Cheers :)

Wut - smoke? Coming out where?

Also oil feed, your car won't have it I thought

Weeeel the smoke was coming out the bonnet scoop and I could smell burning oil. It was on the primary side but didn't really look like it was from the snail. No whines have developed except from me when I saw said smoke and that was more of a groan anyway. Only thing I've done recently is take the I/C off :/ And I ask about oil feed 'cos everyone keeps saying the banjo bolt filter gets clogged and starves the turbo of oil....????

I don't know but I wonder if that may be it. Will check that I tightened that properly...

Yea, was asking that as more of a general question. Don't think that'll be your problem at all.

One thing you can check is whether there is oil leaking out of the Intake valve under the secondary side of the intercooler. Mine used to leak a bit. Used to leak onto the transmission though so didn't actually give off any smoke or anything.

Also you made sure you correctly tightened those annoying as hell clamps on both pipes under the intercooler?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
