Message What I meant is that the GReddy (horizontal) FMIC causes the stock "crossover" (plenum) to no longer be used.

Yes, there still is a balance tube, but it has to do MUCH more than was needed before because with SMIC's , the engine is running in its original configuration.

With the horizontal FMIC, My driver turbo would be feeding my driver side bank,(remember its a horizontal IC, outlet tube would be on the opposite side of the engine, causing it to feed the original 'boost' side) (which there will be no real balancing or any crossover besides the small stock balance tube)

This is why I was bringing up my secondary balance tube. I need to equalize the pressure of both banks/intake while still using a horizontal FMIC.
Using the stock balance tube with a non-Xover type FMIC would have me to rely on the ~1/2" dia to equalize pressure of both banks.
Using my secondary balance tube in addition to the stock balance tube will equalize my pressure on both banks. Allowing me to use a horizontal FMIC (which IMO looks much better than a verticle), without the cons of them. (over heating stuff has not/will not be an issue).

I do agree
2530's are great. If i had the money, I would've went with them.

NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
