Lag difference with FMIC
I am having a hard time deciding on if I want/need a FMIC for my car or not.. Just for a little background information, I will be running a streetport, T04B Hybrid S5 turbo, planning on running 10-12 PSI, and making ~275 RWHP. Now to me...nearly instant throttle response is more important to me than a couple extra HP. I know fully well that a FMIC will cool better then the top mount..but if it is going to make lag noticably worse, Id rather try and work with a top mount, whether it be the stocker , ot aftermarket. Cost isnt really that much of an issue..and If I do go front mount, it will most likely be the Greddy kit. So for those of you with front mounts..is the lag noticable worse? Will a TMIC flow enough to cool the hybrid turbo running 10-12 psi?

You will be very pleased with the GReddy V-Spec FMIC Kit, should you go with It. I've heard many times over - recently from IAN- that there Is no lag that you will experience. I just got the GReddy FMIC Kit and It's yet to be put on. Infact, It's right here In my room staring at me.

I found there to be a little bit more lag, However there were power increases with no tunning! just straight power increase with my FMIC,
Silverrotor, dOES it burn your eyes when it stares at you glimingly saying... "you know you want to install me... you know you want to prove to yourself that those 820USD were well spent... you know you want to"? do these bother you when you sleep at night?

Here a pic of his 89 20B. What do you think of his Bumper/Grill setup? Does It bang?
Not to detract from this thread but here Is a shot of his Engine Bay.

Ive been looking alot over an H-mount setup, such as BlueTII ( I think thats his Screen-name..?) is doing, but not sure where the intercooler would get its air from.. Id probably be looking at a custom hood for that, and I dont think I want to get into that.
So if everyone's saying that I wont get too much lag with the FMIC..Ill probably just go with that. Thanks

I really dont see how a V- mount setup would work well on a FC..with the harsh angle of the radiator..but if someone has some pics, suggestions, Id more than gladly entertain that idea.

By good power I think he means excess of 350hp!
I personally have my own custom FMIC which is comparible to the greddy two row IC and it made a huge differnce in untuned power! I am now custom making another IC which will be comparible to the 3 row... probably a little less but in that ball park! Just because My goal in the end is 500hp!.
So if you are debating whether or not it is worth the money. IMHO i would have to say that it is inded a good way to go even with the stock turbo. You will notice gains with the stock turbo and upgraded (good) FMIC! Good Luck

There is still a 3 row Greddy kit for $1199 but I heard that the 3 row was a bitch to install. I think Higgi or someone else went with that and ended up doing alot of custom work when they bought the kit for ease of installation.
