Also remove the 2 tmic studs on im so they won't make contact with the hot pipe The only change to the tune has been timing reduction to. They screw out with the vise grips

Remove your bpv as you will want to.
By first mod, do you mean that the car is bone stock except for an fmic
If so, then you are looking to add quite a bit more lag with probably no real power gain. So i had been looking at this kit for a while, sold my previous precision turbo fmic and bought the kit with black piping Allegedly, it was cxracing's best. The amount of money spent on a fmic for minimal gains and dealing with piping headaches isn't worth it unless you're going for my speed looks fast status
There's zero pressure drop or lag issues with this kit, on the stock turbo I'm using this core, with pg's piping kit, which has runs and bends very similar to this At the end of the day the fmic is just plain the way to go Killer performance, hella bling factor and if your an autocrosser or drag racer when your car sits it heat soaks
The fmic just does a.
They do sell the exact same cooler with an install kit for a 335i, but its 500$, so i got this one and figured id make my own mounts. I love the sounds the fmic makes, but i've noticed that in 4/5th gear it does not like a slow releasing throttle It's either on or off, or else it shakes. Hmm, chris did you run yours through the first hole or the second hole in the fender area
Looks like the first hole is going to be the way to go I've seen it go through the second one in. And what are the benefits and drawbacks of each option The cx racing fmic comes with a bpv but is that a good option to run
Should i buy a better one from cobb or a different brand that has adjustability
Do i need a specific intake to replace the cai i already. 2008 mazda speed3 jun 4, 2009 #15 the first gen kit you couldnt, aka what i have. But they give you a choice now, but if u have the inlet already, why do you like the. Can anyone that has the cx racing fmic kit give me any input on it as far as how it fits, installation difficulty(did you have to cut or move anything) how it performs, etc
I am getting ready to upgrade my intercooler and wanted to get some opinion on whether i should go with a fmic or a tmic I know that a good quality tmic like process west would handle all the. Fmic will help against heat soak, as indicated above, but will add some boost lag due the longer piping I would not consider it as an early mod
It is a good mod, but maybe.
Below is a virtual dyno graph showing 4 fmic curves (2 in 3rd gear, 2 in 4th gear), up against a 4th gear tmic run on e85
