Anybody else who have fitted the Forge FMIC noticed how much extra "torque" they have in this cold spell.

Maybe placebo but I don't think so, TC now coming on when accelerating in 4th. This from a 170+ remap.

Now you're just making me jealous :(

I just have the good old pikey mod, but the car is much more responsive. I think its a combination of cold dense fuel, cold dense air, and gritted/slippy roads. Mine was a right handful last night.

Although, strangely, I suffered heatsoak for a couple of mins, after a vigorous blast down my favourite twisties :confused:

Not something you FMIC endowed folks will encounter again :(

Yes I have, infact I now get clutch slip on full charge where as before it would only be on low revs under strain!

No matter how heavy footed I am, I never get the drop in performance like I did before. Also it's not as smokey as before.

Still yet to fit my sump guard

Heatsoak? whats that??? :confused:

Better when 100% of the FMIC is in the freezing airflow too.

Thats why you can't warm your car up in the morning, I think you better put an oil temp gauge in the other vent hole.

:P No, until I smash a slat on that side, no guage is going in.

-6 in the display on the way work, pulling like a train at that but weary about the road conditions.

Seeminly Jason, there is very little in the difference in intake temperatures between a fully opened up FMIC as you have and the Forge FMIC setup, maybe just that placebo effect you feel

Pretty easy. There is a handy guide in the Forge fitting insructions as Xavier pointed out the other day.

No placebo going on here just raw cold Forge power ;-)

TBH if I can do it anyone should be able too! only tip to give might be have someone to help you hold the bumper whilst you disconnect the fog and temp sensor wires.

Oh and dont forget to re-connect them

Top marks for the FMIC,
