FMIC and standard airbox
Ok,
im building a fully forged engine at the minute and fitting an MD321T turbo to it.
Want to get about 400bhp out of my 2.0.
Running a FMIC at the min but want to know can i run a standard airbox with it. Would the standard airbox be able to cope with 400bhp?
or would i be better off putting an sti8 top mount on with the standard airbox?
Basically i want the engine bay to look as standard as possible. "sleeper"
thanks
Jamie

Standard box can cope with 400hp. I believe andyF runs 450hp sti tmic + std airbox.
I have seen some FMIC cars still run a std airbox - depends on the make / piping etc. So yes it can be done.
