Mainstream Tuned Bolt on WRX

The FMIC on the stock turbo is probably the boost problem with the test car. IIRC it hurts more than helps until you go with a bigger turbo. ( at least a VF34)

I assumed it would hurt more than help, I just didnt think it would make the boost flutter as badly.

That I don't know, but I know you lose some power. A bigger top mount would have been better, but hey I love the look of a FMIC too.

Thats such a load of shit, go back to reading Nasioc. A front mount never hurts more than it helps even on a stock turbo car.

I need not reply, emmino pretty much said it.....and BTW that info came from one of your WRX/STi forums......and from what I read (like a year ago so I don't remember where) only the WRX has the problem, not the STi.

Not saying I am right, just stating what I read on the WRX/STi forums.

Oh I know where it came from, people just read shit on the internet and assume that its true when in reality its just not. A top mount intercooler is not more consistent by any means. Its smaller and takes less time to fill, by less time we are talking barely noticeable. Do you know how long it takes a stock subaru turbo to charge 10 feet of 3 inch piping....go ahead Ill wait on your answer.

I'm not trying to argue with you or say you're wrong.....I was just stating where it came from because you told me to go read another site.

BTW I was ONLY stating what I had read and not saying I knew if it was wrong or right.
