Default Best A4 FMIC?

Any suggestions for a FMIC for a 1.8t? Planning on running T3/T4. Thanks.

Some people can run them without problems others experience pressure drops and CEL with upgraded turbo kits. I'd find someone with your same setup to see how it worked. I have an APR stage 3 but have messed with a FMIC for just such a reason. There is a little debate about the need for a FMIC unless you are consistently making >300 HP.

Default Yes and no...

if you run on the street only, it is unlikely that you will heatsoak the stock IC with under 300hp. Run 250hp on the track in the summer for 20 minutes and I gaaarrrooonnnttttteeeee it will heatsoak.

Default The OEM SMIC might not 'heatsoak' with under 300hp on the street but you can sure watch the IATs

soar when you do a WOT run up through the gears

Default why did you return the SPP FMIC?

I was thinking of getting one for myself and heard there wasn't much difference between the two?
