Cp-e fmic review

[mike16241]

Well got my cp-e fmic installed. By far the most simple fmic install I have done so far. No cutting or fabrication required. The crash bar is beefy and stiffens up the front end. The core bolts up to the crash bar and one of the under tray bolts. The piping is bead rolled so you can really clamp down on it to prevent any leaks. And gor those of you worrying about boost lag on the ko4 its really not noticeable. My boost temps have dropped considerably. I absolutely love this kit for ease of install, amazing quality and performance its well worth the buy. Im hoping a redesigned ms6 fmic kit comes out from these guys because I'll want the first one

I'd second a redesign/re-release of the kit for the MS6!

Us MS6 guys need a quality FMIC option.

I'd just appreciate the option to buy a replacement intercooler core mounting plate/bracket thing...

What gen is this on? I question the effectiveness of a FMIC on a pu because of the limited opening in the grill. I would really enjoy seeing the CP-E TMIC vs FMIC on the same car, preferably a pu beacuse the juan's actually have a reasonable opening for a fmic.

Full-Race, expensive but the best by far and you get a crash bar.

WTF is this? Is this Amazon.com? This isn't another website where non-data reviews mean anything. How is boost lag not noticeable? Did you do data logs? How are boost temps better? Did you do data logs? What conditions? What temps? How did you quantify that the crash bar stiffens up the front end? Did you do an autocross event and land faster lap times?

pffft.

EDIT: I wrote this when I was drunk last night. I didn't mean to be a total dick, but I'm just saying, challenge yourself to create data and quantify your gains. We are a technical forum and data is king.

I put mine on last month. I like it a lot, but the elbows seem to create a kink in some places, especially coming out of the turbo, which wouldn't seem to allow good air flow.

I'd like to see a picture of what this setup looks like from the front of the car. I remember years ago their shit was off center and it looked weird.

hahahaha. this ^

Maybe he has an extremely accurate and calibrated butt dyno. We just need to take his word for it.
