worth a shot if you are looking for a budget FMIC.

this guy bought one and did a review, though the model i got is the one shown on the site.

floridaorange · 02-22-2019, 08:23 PM

Thats the one I installed on my car today...

sspade · 02-22-2019, 09:06 PM

Been wearing this FMIC for approximately 30k miles with excellent results and zero hiccups.

Lets be completely honest with ourselves...

If one is building the "no holds barred, no expense spared, best on the planet or its not good enough - Race Car"... then this probably isnt the right FMIC.

For the other 97% of us... this is a solid built, perfectly fitting, wayyyyy better than stock option.

For $200 !

Sweet! Does replacing this void warranty?

Very. Very unlikely.

So no. This would not void warranty. Unless dealer could prove it caused failure. And that is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE for this specific mod.

Anyone know if this FMIC is compatible with ER charge pipes?

It fit identical to stock on mine as far as lining up with pipes and same outlets.

Like others have said - once the old IC comes out you'll be amazed at how small, beat up and plastic it is.

Like the dude in the video said, it gets hot down here in SC and this thing pulls timing bad when it's that hot in the summer. This is a great find.

Only gets hot if you slow down

Using Treadstone Performance Engineering.

Both sides for great price. Perfect fitment.

Would highly recommend!

akf30 · 02-25-2019, 02:27 PM

Whoever has this, is it worth it? How is it compared to other brands? CSF, VRSF, etc. I'm looking for an upgrade but don't really want to spend $500. I live in MA any info would be appreciated.

Will a VRSF CP fit with this?

EDIT: just pulled the trigger on it, $191 shipped

Let me know how this goes. I have VRSF CP currently (which needed machined to fit), and was wondering the same thing

Wow!

Another VRSF product with poor fitment.

Thanks for sharing with the community.

On amazon, it had a %5 coupon which came out to like 210 for me and I had another promotional coupon that was attached to my account for 19$ so I got it 191

Op or anyone who's installed this, is this meant to be a replacement for an oem or an upgraded?

Upgrade. I've spoken to several people with logs that show an significant improvement to the OEM.

Definitely and upgrade over stock. When you see the OEM unit side by side with aftermarket you will know why.

Awesome! Thanks! Maybe I'll pull the trigger and go stage 2 MHD just want to wait to see if they have fitment for VRSF charge pipes!
