From what I've seen posted, I reckon up to 320-330 on a TMIC, maybe 10-20 more on a FMIC. Probably FMIC produces colder air more consistently allowing more boost or timing to be run.

TBH you're engine spec. looks worth more than a VF28 is able to provide.

If you're still on the original RB5 TMIC it's a bit small for the job.

No flame suit needed from me mate, I totally agree with you. But having to wait a little before my next spend on the car. Going to go for an APS front mount and definitley changing the turbo in future
