Default Well I wanted to try something other than RS4 ICs so had Chad of CBRD designed a custom FMIC for me.

Chad suggested a vertical core design as opposed to horizontal. This allowed for a single outlet to the throttle body as opposed to dual. The dimensions of the FMIC core are 20x7x3. if anyone is interested in this FMIC place contact Chad Block of CBRD at <a href="mailto:chad@chadblock.com">CBRD</a>

As far as intake temps. After the 8th pull intake temps were still no higher then 53C.

Now onto the pictures and dyno graphs. I have graphs of before the FMIC was install with the RS4 ICs installed and graph of the new FMIC installed.

Here is the drivers side of the FMIC. Here you can see the pipes and the bracket that it's held with. He decided to go the drivers side route side from IC to TB.

Here is the passanger side of the core.

Here is the head on shot of the FMIC installed with bumper. Yeah the bumper is all bugged up sorry.

Here is a pic of the pipe coming from the FMIC to the TB. As you can see from the pic there is a pipe for each BPV. There is one on the other side. Just not in this pic.

On to the dyno graphs. Just to let you all know this is still on 94 octane on the GIAC XR M box.

Here is the before with RS4 ICs.

Here is the graph with the after. I have a dead primary O2 as well.

This equates to
+26.5whp and +62.8lbs trq

This was from the last pull which was around 9 pulls and we kept gaining power after adjustments etc.

Default So the temp drop is identical to the RS4 ICs? What do you equate the 25whp gains to, just the

lesser pressure drop?
