I'm planning on buying a full FMIC kit fairly soon (Greddy or Blitz is what I am leaning towards) and I was wondering if I will still need any of the rubber piping/tubing from the stock SMIC (in particular the rubber tubes from the TB and turbo), or is that all replaced with most kits.

I know it kind of sounds like a dumb question...but I want to be sure I don't need it before I sell it. Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the kit. Some of them just gives you the FMIC core and you have to figure out the piping. Some will come with hot and cold pipe, but you will need to retain your stock turbo outlet hose.

So I'd keep everything until you have the kit installed.

yah mine came from the hotpipe to the TB, which means i needed to fab parts for the hotpipe to meet the turbo, but thats for an upgraded turbo too. too many options and ways to do it, so save like g6 said, till u put it on.
