Fitting Japspeed FMIC
Few questions about the Japspeed FMIC I'm about to fit to my 2005 JDM STI.
Will be swapping from the VF37 to a Kinugawa TD05 20g twin scroll with the billet 12 blade compressor wheel very shortly and I intend to use a Japspeed FMIC which I bought a few months ago.
Ideally, I want to keep a re-circ valve, as not a fan of the 'noise' from BOVs. Any reccomendations as to which valve I can use/is compatible with the Japspeed kit.
Anybody else running one? What's it like? Lag wise? Temps? etc etc.

You can use the existing valve with an adaptor. I used a Forge re-circ valve (the actual model has been replaced - take a look on the Forge site) You will need to use an induction kit with the FMIC and this will allow a fair bit of dump noise to be heard but nowhere near the VTA volume.
I have a MDX321T and there is a certain amount of lag which is inevitable on a 2ltr engine. Pulls well from 3.5k and by 3.8k is pretty full on. I would imagine the twin scroll turbo will be much better in this respect.
TBH the charge temps (I have a temp. probe just before the throttle body) are not much changed in everyday driving but fast road or track shows an advantage.
I you're in Colchester at the end of the month take a trip to the Essex meet at the Rodney and have a look at mine?

Many thanks for the reply John.
Any idea where I can pick up the adapter to run the OEM recirc? I have an inner wing kit fitted at the moment so will be swapping to an HKS short ram when I fit the intercooler.
I have been to the meet at the Rodney once before, a few months ago but unfortunately I'm up in Edinburgh with work for the next few months!
