sam2kk8 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Tbh I recognised it a tiny bit..not much but I did notice that it was a bit slow on responce compared to the top mount with the short pipes..that was just my experience though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 From what ive been told you do experience slightly more lag but its better breathing for the car.I took my bumper, headlights and grill off, ran the pipes in and then fitted the intercooler inbetween them. Put my bolts in my mounting points on my core, then used tywraps between my bolts and bumper backing to establish a good height and positioning. Then made measurements and made brackets to suit (Didnt like how flimsy the supplied ones were). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 i noticed a bit more lag, but it is much better especially on long drives, or after traffic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza AuA Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Thx a lot for the respond guys,think I will go ahead and do this since its overall good for the engine as was said, a little lag won't hurt I guess Will be upgrading the stock turbo afterwards..Again thx for the replys..take care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 just fitted mine i love the sound of it and it looks cool to if i was you id defo do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Made a huge difference to mine!Was running .8bar on the TMIC and after 2mins of hard driving the car would go into limp mode and I would have to reset the battery.Went to FMIC and the sound off the turbo was better and the chatter sounded awsome and you could boot it as mush as you want An awsome upgrade IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
