Ok guys and girls, I am have a FMIC with intake, catless DP and UP with a stock turbo and injectors. I am curious to find out how much power the stock turbo can handle. If I need to add injectors and a fuel pump to make the most out of the stock turbo or if I should just go and buy an upgraded turbo. Also, who uses what for engine management. AEM, UTEC, OpenECU etc. Good or bad experiences with your set up. Thanks in advance for any help, advice or comments.

 

i would say buy a bigger turbo and the get COBB AP u would love it!!

 

also a fmic with a stock turbo will not give you any gains, I have everything you could but on my stock turbo 04, with meth and I had 230whp.... but goo luck with anything more then 220whp on your stock turbo

 

fmic on an sti stock turbo is laggy
i cant imagine fmic on the tdo4 2.0

 

which FMIC is it?

 

Port the stock Exhaust Manifold and get a high flow crossover pipe should help out.

 

you would be better off with the TMIC with stock turbo.

but with pumps and all those added you should be looking around 220whp. since your is 04 with the 2.0.

 

are you running this setup? what turbo? did you get it tuned?

already have the FMIC in my posession (Turbo XS). i suppose the only other thing i need to figure out now is the right tuning platform. I have decided to go with a vf34 (since i do auto x from time to time).

UTEC? Cobb AP with pro-tune? OpenECU? EcuTEK?

 

ok nevermind...decided on a better route. thanks to everyone for their input to help me with my decisions.

look for my FMIC on FS

 

^what fmic is it? I would trade you my like new turbo xs tmic and some $$$ for the difference, depending on what brand the fmic is? The tmic can get you some great power, I got 350whp on my tmic with no heat soak. With my new 2.5 soon I can really use the fmic.

 

FMIC - front mount intercooler

It is a Turbo XS. only thing i need to find is a replacement hood (oem only and MBP or carbon fiber)
