Glanza-Love Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 bad bad days mate. you have to remove the aircon to get this to fit and its not the best at all. results are dreadful with it the top mounts better. oh you also have to raise your suspension Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lee_EP82 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yer i had 1 now swapped back to standard tmic, i also had to put standard front springs on to compensate for the extra weight. But the front sits as low as the back so its all good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lee_EP82 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 On a serious note.Noticed no lag at all think it spooled up at 2800rpm full boost which was about 5rpm later than with the satndard tmic.It pulled abit more and alot better mid range.Dump valve sounded alot different as its on the cold side and situated in a different place but thats just what i noticed.Theres probably more but im seeing jezza clarkson stuck in a cave in vietnam haha which has put me off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy.i Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 and pay the custom charges........they will take you to court hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markoos Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 i noticed a good difference! but on a serious note i didnt get my dictionary either!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jam-ep Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 the main difference will be the noise, and moving after youve been in traffic as its still getting cold rather than being BBQ'd by the engine like the TMIC, running on a ct9 i think the diference will not be noticable if anything slower as the pressure will drop, but at least your car is getting a healthy dose of cold air, but dont be fooled into thinking when you put a FMIC on you immediately will be going faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy77 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 and pay the custom charges........they will take you to court hahaha ye pay them they are bastards they hunt u dwn for it lol gettin letterey will b saying they will be taking me to court for £30 quid lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 In really hot weather, which tbh isn't very often here!! The fmic is a big improvement over the tmic, you'll notice a big difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee_EP82 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 HAHA i just threw my 1st letter away knowing they would send me another in a couple of months threatening me with court action before i finally decided to pay it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 the main difference will be the noise, and moving after youve been in traffic as its still getting cold rather than being BBQ'd by the engine like the TMIC, running on a ct9 i think the diference will not be noticable if anything slower as the pressure will drop, but at least your car is getting a healthy dose of cold air, but dont be fooled into thinking when you put a FMIC on you immediately will be going fasterWouldnt just be the noise pal.. theres an increased air flow from the turbo as the pipes are larger... which gives a different soundso theres more air being pushed through and cooled alot easier as theres more visibility of the cooler! it will give you a better pull & noticable.the Hdi's are suposed to be great coolers but i havent experieced my self as i have a jap speed so.but you will be impressed with it. more healthy for your engine anyways!
