I recently fitted one of Tim's (Timpeyon) FMICs. I have to say i'm very impressed :-- excellent quality cooler & fittings (all stainless) - silcone hoses - custom mount plate, with screws and fittings. The cooler is a snug fit, I had to trim my bumper back a little, and cut a postage slot sized hole in my under-tray to ensure adequate clearance, apart from that no drama. On the road the car feels quite different BeforeA big mid-range wallop of torque, with a marked tail-off in top end power. AfterA smoother, more even delivery with noticably more top-end power. FMIC Pics I intend to get her on the rollers again soon to see what she's running - Powerstation anyone ?

So you think the power comes in later now? Expected by changing from smic to fmic.

Sounds good Mike The only things I would say is that at one end of the fmic there is quite a sharp bend to bring the pipework back underneath the FMIC. This is great for design and packaging, but will add some restriction for airflow I would have thought. Mike ,are you going to fit a straight induction pipe? joe

I'm not sure about the SIP tbh Joe - what sort of difference do you think I'd see ?

It makes a noticeable difference, again by reducing restrictions in the intake pathway.
the downside is that you do lose that lovely intake burble of the coupe ,but will get more response and power.

Thanks Joe - I'm very tempted, plus the car looks odd with that big gap where SMIC was...I suppose I could put my sandwiches there.

They are pretty good ,especially considering their costs and that they are basically just a straight pipe Go for it!, and a nice big Ramair in there Joe
