Question mod question

ok i basically know mostly what i need to know about my tune and mods on my car etc. i got the basic bolt ons an evo gets but i did not do a FMIC. Im thinking about getting the perrin one now that i have the money. do i really need a reflash if i do put this intercooler on? i know i wont get FULL potential from it but how will my car run? my main concern is heatsoaking in the summer

I have the Perrin FMIC, its a very nice piece. You won't need to change your tune with the addition of a larger intercooler. Its definitely a good idea to log your car every time you install a new part to make sure everything is looking safe though.

you aren't going to heat soak your stock fmic dd'ing the car

road racing ehhh maybe but the stock fmic isn't a bad piece

I have an ETS fmic so you know I'm not just saying it to say it

you are likely to see up to 1 psi drop in boost going with a larger intercooler
