The Tri-Point wide body kits look much better. Those kits do not take away the look of the FC....just looks right...wide.
I wholeheartedly agree. Although I do like the look of the FEED widebody as well, but not for the 4-5 grand most importers want for those :shakehead:

It wasnt match porting the turbo to manifold as you would have to make the turbo undivided somehow. All I did was match port the runners on the turbo itself.

Theres a writeup on Ted Koseki's site at



http://fc3s-pro.com/TECH/HOWTO/TURBINEPORT/tport.html



As for improvements, I seemed to get quicker boost response, especially once i went back later and removed the twin scroll and also performed the throttle body mod.



I really wish I had a flow bench to see if it really did make a difference though

Those Fenders are pretty kewl. and $600 smackers isnt bad but i wonder how much it would cost to have them put on.

does anybody here know what a rough estimate would be to have those put on?

The fronts look like they'll bolt right in. To do the rears you'll have to cut the old fenders. Then you'll have to weld the new rear guarters on, if they're steel. If they're fiberglass then you'll need to rivet them on and then blend them in, etc.

From what i understand the whole kit is fiberglass. A really good body shop should be able to do the install. I would say install and painted maybe $1000. I might be a little low but not much
