Default FMIC ?

Will I have noticable pressure drop with an AWE FMIC running ~14psi on a k03?

Maybe about 1 psi, but again, maybe.
You car will pull harder though.

I'm running the AWE FMIC, you will lose about a ~pound, but it will pull harder each time, have you put it on yet?

Remember that the ECU will always request what it always did. And the turbo will work harder to still put out the same boost. So, you may not see a real drop. The lower IAT will more than make up for it if you do.

If you are going larger turbo, though, I'd look at something other than the AWE. A few who've gone that route have switched out to better FMIC. The AWE is just too small and innefficient for large turbos.
My choices would be ER COMP, Racetec, ER SPORT, in that order. I went Racetec due to $$ but couldn't be happier. Even when I beat the snot out of my car, the IAT are within 5-7 degrees of ambient all the time, and fall rapidly after every shift.
