Im sure you wont lose power, but the gains probably wont be all that noticable. If you did 2-3 pulls back to back you will notice less heat soak and probably wont see quite the performance drop-off as you would on the stock smic.

uhh you might see a drop in pressure but you'll make more power at low boost.

take the "*" out of ur sig

ive heard of people losing power going FMIC on a t25, it doesnt move THAT MUCH air, and making it go through a FMIC would probably make it worse. but if your gonna get a turbo in the near future, go for it

If the FMIC is HUGE then you can very easily lose power. If it is just a decent size you shouldnt lose power, but your gains wont be that noticable.
