[s-cars] FMIC revisited

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

I agree with Sean's statements... and I've spent a lot of time on the dyno.  I ran both an RS2 setup, and my current GT30R setup with a stock IC.  I typically got a 20 to 30hp loss after my first pull with the stock IC, meaning rapid heat soak.  With my current FMIC (el cheapo version mentioned earlier today) I don't experience any loss at all between runs... and got about a 30 peak hp gain... which is the same as you can expect from the expensive IC kits.  My complete dyno curve improved greatly throughout the range... area under the curve is much larger.
 
I would say that without question, an improved IC will benefit you greatly if you are running anything other than the stock K24 turbo.

So is anyone using a larger-than-stock turbo with the original stock 
intercooler? Or is a FMIC pretty much required with a turbo upgrade?
