How do I modify my starion FMIC to work?
How do I weld on the end pipes? Is it easy?
Am I better off going to somebody for this? or should I save the cash and pull a DIY move?
LMK
Thanks

Well its aluminum. Whoever does it needs to be comfortable and have some experience welding aluminum . You will have to cut a hole in the sides and weld in the new inlet and outlet. Then plug up the holes on the top of it.

you can go to home depot get those 1.75 inch silicone 90 degree bends. first you have to cut the pipes shorter about 1.5-2.5 inches. ill show you pixs if you dont understand

JB Weld worked for me!
I used JB Weld on my SOHC turbo to 10 psi it was holding great up untill I pulled the engine. and it is still leak free to this day.
its the ghetto way to do it, but it worked great.
