Re: fmic you can put it on, but I would probably wait until you upgraded the turbo though, but the stock sidemount is lame, so It'll help you out if you put it on now.

Re: fmic You won't notice any extra lag or anything from the FMIC especially if it has short route piping. Put it on but depending on the piping setup it could be real difficult to hook up the t25.

Re: fmic I would hold off until upgrading your turbo. It will probably less of a hassle for you, but nothing is impossible.

Re: fmic Just throw it on man! Anything is better than the sidemount. It might be a little hard because of the way the t25 shoots out. If you know you're going to upgrade the turbo soon then wait, if not then go ahead an throw it on and get the piping ready for when you do get the turbo.

Re: fmic No it will not be better than your sidemount. The bigger the intercooler the harder your tiny turbo has to work to pressurize that bigger volume. I would keep the sidemount until you have a turbo that will need a more efficient intercooler.

Re: fmic try it and see how it feels. If it sucks take it off and sell it. If you like it keep it on and save up for the new turbo. when you get the new turbo you can decide wether you want to use it again or go with a new one.
