Default Is a FMIC pointless for a car with stock K03?
i have a 01.5 1.8T APR chip new BPV intake exhaust. Will a FMIC do anything for me other than a pressure drop

Default Well a chipped K03 puts out some high air temps
so yes a FMIC will help lower those temps before they get to the intake manifold better then the stock SMIC does.

Default It depends on how much added volume the fmic adds over the stock setup.
I used the EVO fmic with my K03 and did not see much of a change in the lag.

Default Ditto
the added hard pipes actually made it feel like the boost came on faster

Default Well when I first put on the EVO fmic with just a standard K03 GIAC chip
I was able to gain a 5 degree's of adv timing. This does add some more tq to the setup and the air temps will drop some to also make some added power.
