Ok so heres the quick question.
I talked to another fd owner and said he was looking at upgrading to a greddy front mount.He said he considered a blitz unit but changed his mind because he heard that the blitz ones had bad pressure drops.
Is there any truth to this?
Also how much psi can the greddy 2 row handle?
how much psi can the blitz fmic handle?
Basically cost aside because i know the greddy is cheaper.
Which unit is better? and why? I also like the blitz because its smaller and would allow more air to flow to the radiator and sits farther back which would protect it more from dents and other debris.
I hope all you greddy and blitz fmic owners can help me out.Thanx.

damn.no one with a blitz or a greddy intercooler on here? Im sure there got to be at least a few guys running either setup

ok so I was able to calculate roughly how much pressure is lost by a blitz fmic and basically came up with a 4.15% pressure drop.
So if youre running 12 psi you will lose about half a pound of boost.
Not too bad.I would think thats probably not noticeable.
at 15 psi you will lose about 3/4 of a pound or pressure.
I got this info off of blitz's website.
They posted pressure drop numbers.here they are.
.05 kg pressure drop at 1.2 kg.
If you know how to get percentages from these two numbers.You will find that roughly 95.85% of the pressure is retained.
Quick calculation formula.
take the desired psi for example
12 psi divide by 100 and multiply by 95.85
you end up with 11.502 psi so roughly 11.5 psi

Ive also searched the other big names for their pressure loss numbers and found none.
