Did anybody got 1 of OTTP FMIC Pipes Kit from Josh ? How do you like em ? What's your experience with this FMIC Pipes Kit ? I can't wait for my FMIC Pipes Kit to be arrived! These are nice!

Update, I installed ZZP FMIC and OTTP CP 2 days ago. I am seeing lower IAT which is great but when it sit there or stop and go traffic. It starting to heat up then when I have to get going IAT goes down slowly. Could it be OTTP mild steel charge pipes causing that ?

What happens when you stop is that there is no airflow going over the fins so while you're stopped no heat transfer is occurring. When you get moving you get airflow dropping the temps. Completely normal for every car. You've got nothing to worry about.

What intercooler fan ? Hell, I know this car don't have intercooler fans. The only thing I am seeing that it kept rising IAT temp when I am in traffic. I wasn't sure if it's mild steel pipes causing that, plastic pipes don't rise IAT as fast as mild steel pipes. When I hit the boost then it jump down really fast.

Update! Ok, OTTP Charge Pipes is NOT WORTH IT! Cause it's made of mild steel not aluminum. They are very heavy and heat soak really bad. It take a while for IAT to get down, I sold it and decided to go back stock plastic charge pipes with ZZP intercooler. I've noticed aluminum charge pipes do heat soak as well by some member has report their IAT does rise up. Yes, It's worth it to go back stock charge pipes and instantly drop IAT very fast. My experience with ZZP intercooler with stock charge pipes is only 4-6 degree above normal temperature. OTTP charge pipes is 15 degree or more higher IAT when the weather gets hot! You will feel sluggish and slow with those charge pipes. I've realized it's not worth to go "metal" charge pipes. I hope manufacturer will look this up and use stronger Plastic, Carbon Fiber, or will be nice to have Silica Nanofibres. Silica Nanofibres are found in England by their engineer. They are lighter than Plastic and stronger than Steel! That would be very nice to have for our charge pipes!

I just recently re-installed my stock charge piping as well. And I was very shocked at how much better my car feels and it seems to frankly pull a bit harder. I will never use metal charge pipes again. I will be putting bith my kn sri and my injen up for sale asap. The car feels much stronger with the stock air box and stock charge pipes.
