should i expect any A/C cooling loss by mounting a FMIC? Im mostly interested in hearing from others who live in states that reach 90+ degrees and who have had 1st hand experience... Summer is coming up and id like to know before buying one. ;)
 
It may or may not have anything to do with the FMIC, but mine idles a little low then goes back up to just below normal idle. Sometimes when I push in the clutch to come to a stop the car bogs out and I have to start it again. Again, I have no idea if this is due to the FMIC or whether it's a vacuum leak.
 
I've good A/C even with front mount covering the whole front of my car. 42deg F via digital kitchen thermometer :D

Coolent temp is around 200 with 180 deg Mitsu thermostat. Stock 190 wasn't cutting it
 
My car does the same thing. When I turn the AC on it idles really low and then when I push in the clutch to come to a stop the car dies. The only thing is I don't have a FMIC. So there is obviously something else wrong. I think there is a sensor located by the throttle body that is suposed to bump up the idle when the AC is on. But mine is broken I think cuz the wire that goes to the sensor isn't even there :confused: I think that might be the problem. Anyone know?
