Yesterday i installed my turbo xs FMIC on my 9 MR. I was skeptical because of reading posts saying no gain on the stock turbo. Well this made a huge difference. Install took only about 45 min. Perfect fit. Now in 80+ degree weather it pulls like its 60 and in 60 degree weather it pulls like it Christmas in alaska
I love it. WELL worth the money especially in the summer.

 

sorry, i will post pics tommorrow. I was at my friends garage and was in the company of a gallardo, 07' s600 kitted with 22's, 745 kitted 22", cl65, clk55, 300+ whp integra, jdm civic turbo project, B6 a4 nicely modded. I have pics of all. Post them tommorrow.

 

That's one hell of a garage. Can't wait for the pics!

 

they are not the best pics but it shows the cars.

 

ok u said pics so where are they

 

So what were your gains? You can't base it off the butt dyno.

 

It is a great front mount. That is what I run on my personal vehicle. Good choice!!

 

How was low-end throttle response?

 

Definitely happy with mine, but I'm also on a bigger turbo. Saw air temps rising about 25-30degrees over a third gear pull (stock FMIC), and now it's only 3-6degrees with the Turbo XS.

 

hmm. damn, makes me want to upgrade too. if you get a dyno, post it.

 

Bump for update and photos...

 

Sorry to brust your bubble. I have installed a HKS Type R intercooler on my Evo 8 and did several dyno pulls after with no gain. However, my numbers were very consistent pull after pulls.

 

So actually you gained consistency on your pulls... That's the point of adding a FMIC

 

How is the quality of the TurboXS FMIC for the EVO?, I had 2 kits for the STi, that I sold, and I didnt really like the quality as I did on my Supra ( GREDDY,HKS ETC )

 

I think this is the one that i will get. I was thinking to get the Nisei but i don't know if i like the extra weight, plus with the money of the Nisei i can buy the TXS with a piping kit...
