Any compelling reason why I should keep my Forge FMIC

you own it, you have a 225 manifold >
"it's symmetrical"...
really, it sure seems the layout is better for a 225, and I doubt if there's any performance difference, so it really comes down to whether you want 'all apr' or not. Personally I like the forge layout.

same question i ask myself >>
answer is: i already did the work to install the forge w/ the 225 manifold swap.
it would be pain to undo the change.
i like the APR FMIC though - better design for the 180 and it would free up much needed space under the hood. i'm not a big fan of the reverse setup on the forge for the 180.

the APR on is a more efficient design you get less boost drop ....>>
it gets about the same amount of cooling, but considering cost I really don't think it would be worth the change..also i would think that the APR sits a little higher due to the end tank on the bottom so it would push the intercooler higher behind the rebar and bumper
