Default FMIC Specs

Does anyone know what kind of specs to look for on a FMIC? I was looking on ebay and there are some really cheap (and I'm sure crappy) ones but that got me thinking the I really don't know exactly what I'm looking for. This GIAC chip has got me wanting a bigger turbo .

CFM


The more the better!!! The innercooler on my GSX is rated at 1,200 cfm dont know what the stock audi is but the Ebay crap is proly 700cfm or so..... I like the stock toyota supra III gen side mount very cheap and more than enough for a K04

Actually, I just found one of the cheap ebay ones that has the exact same specs as the more expensive ones. But they don't say a damn thing about CFMs. CHECK IT OUT

I should'nt say the more the better cuz if you go to big you will have to much pressure drop and that will rob you of boost (1-3psi)...But to big is a bad thing...Find a Sparco core on ebay and DIY mandrel pipe that should keep you under the 5oo$ mark..Oh 2.5' pipe should be plenty

Seems to cheap Sparco is proven.... and to be honest not that much more for the core.
Those guys want 95 + 39 to ship plus tax (maybe)


I say to good to be true

Spearco is good, also, bigger is not better. Your looking for about 700cfm for a ko4.

So 700 cfm for a K04 would translate to around 1000 or so for one of the elims? I previously wanted a K04 really bad but now that I got the GIAC chip, I'm wondering if I can go bigger. It's definitely gonna be a learning experience.
