MK3's come with a small front mount not side mounts like a MK4..

I cant see your front mount?! Do the pictures work?

Wideband is probably the best mod anybody could buy.

I'll admit, it looks a 1000x better, Alex.

Front mount looks good.

It's been dyno tested, cars with full boltons and higher boost still maintain good A/F. There is also a boost cut in the ECU that doesn't let you pass I think 11psi, you would have to manually disable it. Coincidentially on stock tuning, anything past 11 psi is where you have to worry about detonation. I won't be doing anything crazy with the car, but with the DP and IC and Intake and the Exhaust I have, it's safe to set it at 10-10.5psi, by the time I get done with boost spike and press. drop from the fmic, I'll be pushing a consistent 9-9.5

gtsiawd96 · 03-09-2009, 02:32 PM

Looks alot better. Nice.

disturbedfan121 · 03-09-2009, 05:44 PM

I'd say about the same, maybe a little quicker.

2 trips to the store for brackets and couplers, and 7 hours later, it was done. We had to do a lot of things kinda ghetto because we didn't have the right tools (cut the ic piping with a saw instead of a blade) etc.

shuttlegoose · 03-09-2009, 08:09 PM

looks good, get a fresh tune and awaken the beast. cant wait to see it at the next autox

To tune I need a standalone.

Eclipse GSX 61 · 03-09-2009, 08:18 PM

Looks much better than your previous oil cooler FMIC lol. Looks real good dude!

peteyturbo · 03-09-2009, 10:22 PM

or beg someone to build you a megasquirt and wire it in parallel

cszakolczai · 03-09-2009, 11:57 PM

looks great, but if I remember correctly you were fighting the idea of a FMIC more then ever. What made you give in?

97TurboDSM · 03-09-2009, 11:58 PM
