Hey Guys, I tried to do a search first but I can not find any solid answers. Long story short I blew up my turbo and it shot bits of metal into the FMIC. Luckily the motor was fine but the FMIC sounds like a salt and pepper shaker. After fixing the turbo I am not sure I want to drop more money on another FMIC if I don't have to. I am looking for 400+ WHP.

My old Turbo set up made 420 whp on the Garrett GXT3076r. I was not happy with the spool so I swapped it out for the GTX3071r. I have not tuned the car yet but it is MUCH more responsive. I need to book another tune but not sure if FMIC should be a hold up or not.

I know the bigger FMIC will help with heat soak but this is a street car with minimal track time.

Thanks in advance.

If you've got metal in your intercooler, I wouldn't risk it for a second.

Moreover, at that power level, you will gain from a better FMIC.

We like the ETS and AMS FMICs:

Yeah I was not going to risk it. I installed the stock one since I had it still so that I can get around. I just had some friends tell me that for 4-450 the stock should be fine. I am just looking for guidance, clarification.

Buy my AMS intercooler. PM for details. Don't want to turn this thread into a for sale section.

I have stock intercooler...I made 459.99/373 on a mustang dyno that reads 15% lower than a dyno jet...It heat soaks pretty easily though
