Re: FMIC install.
Tom basically you are going to want to start with removing your stock IC pipes, if you don't have clamps for your couplers then I would save some of them that are in decent shape. My recommendation would be to get new ones that are stronger and that you have to tightened with a rachet or nut driver, I think they are the T-bolt style ones. Once you have all your stock IC piping off then remove your intake and MAF, depending on what piping your going to run this might be in the way. Then I remove the battery for extra room and so you don't hit it and short anything out.
Now that you have a decent amount of room in the engine compartment you can now start the removal of the front bumper. If it has never been off before it can be a little bit of a pain but just keep at it and it will come. There are a lot of screws to remove. Once you get the bumper cover off then remove all the plastic fill in pieces that are by your radiator and such (anything that might get in the way.
This is all the stuff you can do to prep the car for the install. Now you will need to say what piping you are going to run and what route its going to take. Also the size and dimensions of the intercooler will be needed. And what size piping you are going to use.
Yes its not that hard to do, but to get centered and level takes some patience and some adjustments. Also you might need to modify your bumper as well to make it fit depending on the size of the FMIC.
So Tom give some more info on what you are putting in because its too hard to assist you without knowing.
Hope this helps.
