What mods are needed with both fmic or vmount? That may be the deciding factor for me. Haha

I'm using a Godspeed core that came with my Defined Autoworks V-mount kit. From Godspeed's website, its rated efficient up to "450hp" I have no complaints so far but I've only really used it on stock twins and not high boost on my current single setup. Intake temps never increased when doing pulls over and over back to back.

No one is really answering you because its such an easy search.

But I'll help you out:

Typically with an aftermarket IC, you'll need to replace the intake because *most* do not allow room for the stock intake. Also depending on your setup, you might need to relocate the battery or switch to a smaller one. Again this all has to do with room in the engine bay.

You will very likely need a boost controller as most aftermarket IC have a lower pressure drop and a greedy elbow. But do your research on what hardware is included and what it bolts up to before making a purchase.


BTW the search feature is your friend

I've been hearing a lot of good things in regards to Godspeed inter-coolers, i know a few rotary shops that run and build Vmounts with them, and the owner of GarageLife (DK) has been running the inter-cooler along with big *** godspeed turbo (GT45) and other things in his drift/autoX car, and for the most part he hasn't any issues producing 500+ HP for the past 4 years nor has he even had to replace or rebuild it.

I have the Defined Autoworks Vmount kit and they use the Godspeed ic. At first I was a bit disappointed since it's a Godspeed but it's working as intended so I can't complain.
