summer comes around...plus for the price, and if it's good like you say its is then that it would be a great buy...do you have a lot of lagg wit this IC?...

Default yeah, they sell the hoses, and pipin as well...but I'm still debating from rs4's or FMIC, but for th

the price this ones look pretty good, I migh just buy 'em to try them out, but i'm just concerned about the lagg...cuz the rs4 run for about 800..

Default blacks4tt, or something like that, has posted logs w/ this FMIC. do a search and you

should find some data. kick @ss IAT delta. i don't recall much, if any, increase in lag, but that's just off the top of my head.
