Frount Mount Intercooler--- Boost Is Low???????
Just curious. I recently swapped sti tmic for a fmic with hopes of getting a larger turbo later. I am not hitting targeted boost in a 4th gear roll. The car is AP Stage 2, but I am assuming that now i will need to go get tuned for the fmic. My concern is that will this bring my boost back??
Thanks for the input...

how much lower is it hitting?
slapping on a larger FMIC with a few ft of extra piping w/out a proper tune should lower the max PSI a little, since the turbo is still hitting its target boost but just pushing through a larger core and more piping.
like blowing through a straw, but just 2 ft long
of course you get less on the other end
IMHO get it tuned ASAP
