FMIC

Postby WR 1mposter » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:50 pm

As you know recently had a APS one fitted, after the initial lag it has to said is far better than I imagined 8)
Also one thing that really surpasses any expectation I had was how drivable it is in town traffic due to the extra lag making it so more lazy and easy to drive, where as before any thing after 2600rpm when the boost came in it was just off, but now it takes until 3800rpm for the boost to be noticeable !

So fit a front mount to make it more drivable round town :wink:


What are your thoughts Bro ?

Nothing like a proper rally car as it doesn't have the stickers.

Hmmm

on normal fuel mine hits 1.4 bar at 3k then 1.5 and holds this for a while before dropping boost down towards redline.

zero lag and charge temps under control.

I think I will stick TMIC too thanks.

Mapped by Bob Rawle.

In fairness Donk one would have thought you should be comparing stories with someone that has a FMIC on a 2.5 engine?

I would agree that the big turbo & fmic does make it easier for everyday as the turbo does not spool up like a small hairdryer.

BUt when it does spool up....................................

I'm sure the turbo will come into its own when the 2.5 built engine is in place.
