Spent 70+ hours troubleshooting the wiring and finally got it running on Friday. There is a bad O2 and cps which are in the mail. Even running pig rich, and only 10psi (wastegate problems) the car is semi uncontrollable. I’ll prolly be going to get another dyno run from Moon and compare the difference. Should be in the realm of 350-400whp on 16-18psi. ---

WAIC all I have to say… Not really ill say more. not only can it fit anywhere under the hood, the IC piping is super short and direct, less bends and lenght the better it is flow wise. Everyone said WAIC on a daily is stupid when i did it on my jetta BT build. Proved them wrong. I have a 3 gal alum res tank in the trunk, the bosh water pump, 5/8" hose and a nice big heat exchanger in the front and spend $250 on the IC itself. total cost in parts was around $650 if i remember correctly and I used a high end exchanger and the pump. I did some testing, 3rd gear pulls the IAT is almost flat… I romped on it back and forth down my test road, made about 4 hotlap passes and the temps hardly moved. I will have to dig up the data I had to find the real numbers, but it blew away my FMIC iats on my older hair dryer sized turbo, which created alot of heat. With a big enough res and enough water in the system, the heat exchanger will wick heat out just about as fast as your turbo puts in, so as long as your not racing the daytona 500 with it, you will be efficient. ---

your last FMIC was also a piece of garbage, lets not forget that part of the equation. dont know what to say, my Garrett core was great. i did 5 passes at the track, within 20minutes of the start and ending of the 1st and 5th run and my TRAP INCREASED, same boost levels on every run. ET was pretty consistant as well.
