Well, I'm heading up to MI in a few weeks... and was thinking I might put off doing the FMIC piping until I get up there due to the abundance of mandrel benders and piping up there.
Do you think on low boost the turbonetics T3/T4 will be fine with the stock SMIC? This is mostly for Mack, Wolfgang, Markslidesquad, WD, and Madscientist...
I'm thinking it will be fine for a short term fix (just no auto-x's or things of that nature), but just wanted a second opinion.
To bad I sold the MKIV sidemount I had laying around...

I have been running my stock SMIC with my 56 Trim T3/T4 and it's ok. I am sure I would see a nice increase in topend from a higher flowing FMIC or SMIC. For the stock IC is supose to have a pretty high pressure drop at from 4500 RPMS and up. If I recall I beleave we are taking about 6-7 PSI. That is what I have read from the Aussy board SkylinesDownUnder.

It was 90 degree's two days ago and the car did feel sugish. I am only running 9 psi and since my wastegate is vented open I am unable to hear detonation. My wideband A/F shows the car running 13-14:1 as the boost builds and then it drops quickly down to 11:1. It may go lower closer to redline but It's kinda hard to watch the gauge with how fast the car is going.
