Default fmic install

Currently I have the Forge Splitter on the car. I recently picked up a front mount intercooler and noticed that the blow off valve isn't as loud as it used to be with the stock smic. Does this sound normal or didI just screw something up?

probably a slight loss in pressure, i lost about 1PSI but the added power is well worth it! make sure everything is installed correctly and all clamps are tight, sometimes they blow off

^^^ +1 Maybe it has something to do with the relocation of a DV.

I have a boost gauge and I forgot to metion that in the first post. as far as boost levels its almost the same prior the fmic and the after. But I'll check if there is a loose clamp or leak somewhere.

I think it might be the weather we've had. Its been hot and humid the last few days and I'm sure that affects the IAT's and density of the air regardless. All the hoses and clamps are fine and we never moved the DV. (I helped somewhat )
