Ebay FMIC testing (data log lab dyno) vs Stock FMIC
I also have the Megan exhaust, and I used the $300 I saved by not going with one of the big name Evo companies' exhausts towards buying a Megan O2 housing, a cone filter, and a Jestr tune. Now something tells me I walked with the best bang-for-the-buck
You know the Megan exhaust is good when: vendors who claim to be testing it against their 'superior' exhaust always seem to leave the cat or some kind of necked-down resonator on while testing the Megan; then they slap on the test pipe while testing their exhaust...
pics of the test are welcomed. haha
I really don't think there was anyone doubting that the ebay unit would make power. It was more on the basis of whose would make more.
Also, the comment about our cars being ``Japanese, and they make better products`` is ironic. The Japanese dont produce these products, china does! If you want Japanese stuff, you better be willing to pay as much, or probably more then the U.S. market.
Companies like HKS, Mines, Amuse, they all make great products and charge alot.
Sorry if i went off topic, but big thanks for the info, and time to make this post.

Boost stayed the same. 15 row intercooler.
When you are talking about having to pull timing, are you talking about the stock FMIC? So you ran the ebay one first and then put on the stocker?
I'm also curious which ebay unit you have. Thx

Did you install the ebay LICP or UICP as well or were they already on the car on your baseline test? Reason I'm asking is a LICP alone could produce those gains right?
Thanks for the testing!!!
Thanks for the testing!!!
i dunno, spending 150 Vs. 700 is alot easier to explain to my wife! Dont get me wrong, im all for Made in the USA but when i bought my turbokit, we didnt have sex for weeks!

word. i want to see the fake ebay ams vs the real AMS.
I love the "support American products" argument. Hello, you drive a Japanese car. If you truly gave a **** about "supporting American products" you would have spent that $30k on an American built car.
