Hey right now i have my ghetto fab set up where my DSM SMIC is where my battery used to go and that ---- gets WARM as ----!!!! even after 15 mins of driving... i did get an AUDI 5000 FMIC with NO bent fins at the local junkyard for $25, my question is how much hp and time off my 1/4 will i gain?

i've heard ~30hp and probably .5 seconds off my 1/4 time..

any ideas?

the real advantage is not blowing up your ---- from a heatsink intercooler......

how about that u bend ******....youll brob gain a few horses from the front mount.

yeah it's not really going to give or add hp but allow you to run maybe a few more lbs. of boost safer and make ur setup safer, allowing you to get more hp,

how would going from hot air - cold air not gain any hp haha... all my pipes are right by the manifold and turbo... ---- gets hot.

ok well then get a front mount!

damn i'm having the same exact problem man. I hate my heatsink setup . FMIC is coming soon. Do you guys think that this setup can cause your coolant temp to rise? Mine has been rising under boost and overheats like a bitch now. This is the first day i have the turbo on . I don't think that hot air coming in can cause this, but my friend thinks it is and i'm just making sure.

you did bleed your coolant system right??
