boost after FMIC install
just installed my racetec FMIC. before FMIC boost was 17-18 psi each gear. after the FMIC install 1st and 2nd are about 15 psi and 3rd 4th 5th are all 17-18 is this supposed to happen. i know there is a very small psi drop accross the FMIC but i didnt expect it to afect 1st and 2nd. any input is appreciated. thanks.

RE: boost after FMIC install
yea but it really shouldnt be that much, especially on a nice name brand Ic like that.... i mean .5psi is at the upper end of the ammount you should be loosing

It's intercooler pressure drop. For a scientific explanation scroll halfway down this page to the section titled "Pressure Drop."

RE: boost after FMIC install
When I did my fmic, I didn't lose any boost at all. Just curious, you did use 2.5 inch piping or bigger, right?
Jaxspeeddemon originally had a fmic installed with 2.1inch piping and he lost about 8psi in every gear, from 25 to about 17psi.
