Re: FMIC Pipe Question
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but after doing some research, the 89 SQ's came with a 16 bar intercooler, not the 14 bar that came out he previous years(years may be wrong). But, i got the larger of the two. I've seen a few form threads on other sites stating the 16 bar flows as well as a stock SMIC or better. And, being it is a FMIC with a larger cooling surface cools the air better. Found someone who installed the same set up i do, in about the same place, and had no issues with overheating. After 4 100mph + pulls my temps never changed, my top end is much better, but i've still got a boost leak. Turbo won't come online till 4k.
After doing some searching on Tuners, NABR and a few other small sites i've run into multiple people with the same issue. Boost leak, most often from the turbo outlet. Going to go out and look at the car quick to make sure everything is tight.
But there are tons of install "How To's" for the SQ ic on VFAQ, Tuners and elsewhere. Something's gota be right about it.
But anyone know when i could expect full boost on the new FMIC? Before i got it around 2900-3100 on a launch.
