you really shouldn;'t be able to see 10-15 hp gain on the dyno, unless you have a super-giant-big-*** fan bown on the front of the car. front mounts dont do much good unless boost is cranked up. BTW im using a front mount and it's intimidating!!!

I'm not trying to be rude, but i've had 1.8t's in the past and put fmic's on them and onthe dyno seen a 10- 15hp gain. However you're right in that it minimizes heatsink therefore minimizing horspower loss when running the car hard.
I would love to see that dyno.

I does not add HP - it prevents loss of hp. So you might see a higher average hp over time when running the car hard simply because you are not losing as much to heatsink. But your not increasing the normal peak HP out of your engine by adding an FMIC.
