Default My A4 with GIAC K04 runs much better when cooler and less humid.....

Just wondering.... how much would a FMIC help under normal "daily driving" situations in the summer?

fyi -- It was in the mid 60s and a lot less humid this morning. I noticed that the car accelerated a lot easier today vs. yesterday when it was in the upper 70s and very humid in the morning.

Thanks for your opinions.....

With a K04, quite a bit. What program are you using?

Default Ok. I know there are a couple files out there that require an FMIC. But on the whole, an FMIC

is going to help a lot during the summer heat and humidity.

As for which one to get, that's another depends if you have a stock bumper or not. Most FMICs don't fit behind stock bumpers IIRC.

It'll help, but if the temps are 95F or more it'll still feel slower than at 80F.

Default Ive noticed humidity affects turbo cars significantly.

This experience is with three different turbo cars, all with either TMIC or FMIC's.

The ultimate solution would be alky injection.

Cheers,
