hi guys just wondered if any body can help me im going to install a greddy fmic to a stock turbo my friend told me it will not help me at all if anything it would slow it down a tad cany anybody give me some info on this matter is there any point in installing a fmic to a stock turbo all info will be greatful thanks

 

your friend is right, you should sell it to me for roughly half of what you paid for it.

 

is that right my friend

 

The FMIC will cool much better than the stock one. It might be a bit of overkill to use such a large one on the stock turbo but thats up for debate. As far as making the car slower it will take just a second or two more for the turbo to hit full boost but I think the trade off in cooler air intake temps will be worth it.

 

that will do for me thanks a lot

 

I didnt notice any lag. if anything boost was a little faster. it will work fine with the stock turbo

 

thanks for the info guys whats the best air filter to run with the fmic and the stock turbo

 

OK, Yes it will make ur car a tad, tiny bit slower, but the reliability of the colder air, is much better. The stock intercoller doesnt halp for crap, for anything over stock boost, a front mount cool the air & actually make ur engine last longer & be less likly to have detonation.

I ran a 14.01 with stock intercooler runnging about 13 psi, & with Greddy intercooler, & added 720 cc secondarys, & fuel pump, boost controller I ran a 14.2

 

the stock turbpo just cant push hard or fast enough through the big greddy intercooler. Its slower in the 1/4 but i gurantee its faster drifting or in the touge!! it will only be slower in the 1/4

 

thanks mate thats spot on for me as i live in england and theres about 5 strips in the uk where you can go so i just blaze every where and any where if you no what i mean

 

A little off topic but what is a fairly small fmic? i like the corksport small 1 and don't want something really big cuz I don't want lag, thanks

 

what other mods you got? if its dead stock you'd be better off sorting the intake/exhaust and/or ems/boost controller

 

Fuel controller?
Thank you for proving that adding fuel without changing anything else will slow the car down.

That doesnt really prove anything, I mean a bad launch could have added that .1 second onto your time or any other number of factors unless you are a super consistent driver.

 

fmic is perfect....now just need to upgrade EVERYTHING else....hehe

 

I would suggest the fmic. Just get the racing beat exaust or some turbo back system so its actually usefull.
