What is involved with installing the ETS FMIC?

I will be driving to a shop a few hours away and waiting while they get the work done so I need to be thoroughly prepared.

Just from looking at pictures and reading so far, I am pretty sure I must:

-relocate the battery
-cut the bumper support
-reroute the intake

Do I need slim fans?
Any OEM gaskets or other parts?

I'm also changing out the throttle body for a 90 NT 63mm, so I'm ordering the Throttle Body gasket (TBIntake) - MD146399


Im also having it dyno tuned with ecmlink. I guess I'll mention to have a boost leak test after the FMIC install.

You shouldn't have to relocate the battery or reroute the intake. I can't remember on the trimming, iirc it mounts directly to the crash beam. The bumper cover will require some trimming if the slats are still in.

You'll have to trim those from the inside and it can be done with a box-cutter.

Edit: did you get the complete ETS kit with the piping?

ETS has an intake for their FMIC kit. The core requires you to trim the bumper support/beam and some trimming of the bumper cover. I believe you can keep the stock battery location with their intake kit. click

The ETS elbow is flanged for the stock TB. The 90 NT TB requires a coupler, that elbow will not work unless you cut the flange off and bead the end and use a coupler.

No slim fan required.

Youll have to trim the back side of the bumper cover in the grill area to clear the front of the intercooler core.Cut out a little of the bumper core.Otherwise its a cake walk.
