It this possible with any form of FI? blowing your motor just by over revving it accidentally in neutral? that sucks! in the rare occasion i miss a gear, i tend to over rev most of the time. guess i gotta be more careful from now on...

Yup. happened on gettinafit's k swap (although he wasn't boosted) and on this one too apparently. you could blow your engine stock by doing this but i bet it is much easier with FI and stock internals. That's one of the reasons why i love my a/t. in s mode it has a rev limiter. If only it didn't loose an extra 5-10% power. Still would have loved to get a manual though.

update: no need to remove fogs
I've received news that the fogs lights will not interfere with the FMIC and will remain be fully functional.

Seriously, a turbo kit that retains the fog lights?
whats Greddy doing differently than both AJ-racing and HKS?
are the using like 1 inch intercooler pipes or what?

Doubt they will retain the fogs, without horribly disrupting flow of the air in the intercooler.

I'll try to get the information.. I HIGHLY doubt they're using 1in. piping though.

I honestly would love to see some pics aswell... I'll keep you guys posted.
EDIT: in order for the IC to fit, trimming the bumper is necessary.
