Well engine has been rebuilt from the ground up, all my aftermarket goodies I've been waiting to put in are on, and the car was dyno'ed and runs like a champ. Like a freaking rocket ship I should say.
Anyways, during the dyno, the highest we could get the boost was 14psi without any knock. Turbo can handle way higher and injectors are only running at 34% capacity but my tuner said my stock SMIC was restricting my boost levels.
So aside from spending a boat load on a full FMIC jobbie with piping, I found a really nice, used ARC SMIC with huge piping and would at least give me a few more pounds of boost. I know the FMIC is totally worth it in the long run, and I plan on one in the future, however, I was wondering if anyone else had used one of these aftermarket SMIC before and what kind of results you saw from it. Worth it?
