For use in a spoken quiz:
What does R-A-C stand for?
What does D-V-L-A stand for?
What does F-M-I-C stand for?
etc.

But then I thought it might be pronounced as a word eff-mic, rather than the letters. Looks like everyone confirms that F-M-I-C is correct

This is an abbreviation; not an acronym. You say front mounted intercooler; for ease people write FMIC.

Hope this helps
