FMIC
Thinking of putting a FMIC on my STI 5 Type R
Currently im running a fully forged engine with 550CC injectors and a VF-34, TSL pulse extraction exhaust and equal length headers.
My boost peaks at about 1.45 BAR but drops off quite rapidly after that. I cant fit a TSL chargecooler becuase its a classic and may be wanting more power in the future. I accept that ill get more tubo lag but what im more concerned with is my turbo. Is a VF-34 going to have enough puff to fill all that extra hosing? And also will it help to hold my boost more constant?
Any advice would be great
ps. was looking at a APS front mount but there are two types. One for 450BHP and one for something mad like 600 or so. They are the same price, what is the diffence as im looking for about 500 ish BHP soonish. (bigger turbo, injectors and new ECU etc)
Thanks
