Large FMIC on T25

[Zakanitis]

So I got a nice sized Spearco FMIC. I'm bought it for the big16g im working torwards buying.

So my question is by putting this on would I gain or loose performance on my T25. Im boosting about 13lbs on the T25.

I think you would loose pressure over such a large FMIC versus the SMIC. Its just negligable on the larger turbos (and required to fully intercool) due to the higher flow rates in comparison to the T-25.

you would lose some spool up with the longer piping and larger intercooler too. I wouldnt put it on till you get the new turbo. The side mount is still efficient when you are running 13 pounds.

If you lose spool, it might be 50-100 rpms at the most...the core will flow better and cool the charge better.

The only bad thing about putting it on now will be that you will have to change around the IC piping when you put the 16g on.

Ah i figured i would probably have to change the piping and i got some piping to spare so. I'd ###### only run the t-25 for about 3 weeks like this before getting the new turbo and supporting mods. Well I'll talk to another dsm'er here and see what he thinks too.

Thanks for all the input

just wait and put the front mount on when you get the new turbo....

It will be fine. Put it on. It won't break anything and you won't be able to detect the miniscule additional boost lag.
