FP Red+SS LICP+Buscher Deluxe=bad fitment
Just posting this to see if others have had the same/similar problem. Putting an FP Red with the larger comp housing onto a car thats running one of the original Buschur Deluxe IC kits. Using the FP SS lower pipe that was supplied in the kit sold being supposed to fit the setup.
There is nearly an inch difference in the alignment....

This has been covered many times man. I had the same problem with the Original Buschur Deluxe FMIC. I talked to so many people about getting one custom made and the prices were rediculous. So i called Buschur and ask for their help. Exact words "Just buy a new FMIC." So i did........ETS FMIC. Good Luck!

weird. I switched to a standard IX outlet pipe and made my own extension to fill the gap because I didn't want to buy a new pipe. Did the same when I put my BBK on and then I upgraded to a BR Race FMIC and made my own LICP with a nice 45° coupler and a basic aluminum U-bend, see my post about it in the HowTo section.

I wasn't aiming it at Dave, I really wasn't aiming anything at anyone...
Regardless, he told you to just buy a new FMIC? WTF, customer service is just **** today in this America's. I guess his customer service is made in china now
Thanks for the help...I guess.
I'll just do what we did with the last setup, and make my own ****, similar to scheides said.

u can make it fit by removing the j pipe , go to a good welder , get them to remove the the welding and turn the pipes a couple degrees then weld the j pipe back together , if u do that u will get a perfect fit , u dont need to buy anything just modify what u have there man ..

Exactly! And this was couple years ago for me. Not like it was outdated then. Sad thing is i really liked that Deluxe FMIC. It fit really well before all the new style turbos.

I had the same problem with my FpGreen just got a long coupler and used tclamps. running 27psi and never had it blow off. just make sure you get a long enough one so it fits at least an inch on each pipe
