depends on the core, your piping and your front bumper. yes the air entering the engine will give oyu more power but it can vary between 5-12 hp i believe. if your core is too big for your turbo you'll be setback though. tooextreme just like big things lol

RE: FMIC installed! review and some q's.
lets see some pics of the new fmic and bumper!!!!
10 psi is normal to see while still stock....I see 12-13 on occasion, right gear at the right time sorta thing...
sounds like you had a boost leak and now you dont!
what size piping are you running?...what kit did you end up with?
when do you get a speed tuning chip with speed?

RE: FMIC installed! review and some q's.
the turbo outlet pipe is literally just shoved in there, its a garden hose and didnt really fit and takes a lot more the 10lbs to pop it out its really a temp fix, cause i already wanna upgrade all the IC piping to 2" anyways. do you think this is a bad idea if its holding anyway?? im pretty sure thats the only reason im running 10lbs right now anyway. as soon as i get the money for the next round of tuning im gunna upgrade the IC piping and re-chip thecar so by then ill figure out the right way to connect the outlet to the DV.
as far as the other questions, its a godspeed core and i bought the kit off ebay. i forget the actual size of the core, but its not that big, and it has 2" outlets, with 1.5" piping, which will b switched soon. there were tons of them on ebay and i think it was about $200 +shipping. im not exactly sure. it was really easy to install once i found a place to mount it. i wont have pics for a while though sorry, and i ended up cuttin out most of the bumper support, which i later found out i didint need to cut out half as much as i did but w/e. i feel a big difference in the response of the car, but again, i went from boosting about 4lbs, to 10lbs, just cause of the hose i used i think, so im not sure how much of a difference it is if i were to be running the same boost.

RE: FMIC installed! review and some q's.
looks nice, but unless you are planning on going with something more substantial than a Ko3, I would say that you probably shouldn't send that much $ on a fmic
do what mjost everyone else on here does...
buy a godspeed core from ebay
you can get nice piping from 034 or you can piece together piping on ebay
some silicone reinforced hose
and some real nice T-clamps
although this can be done for as little as 150$
I plan on spending about 350$...and I will also be welding/fabbing my own custom piping w/a DV outlet...basically the less T-clamps and hose the less chance of a boost leak!
