The OEM FMIC is adequate for stock boost levels, however once boost levels are increased by way of ECU upgrades/chipping the OEM FMIC struggles to keep the charged air temperatures in check. Higher charged air temperatures can result in boost cut and pulling timing, both reducing the amount of power your vehicle produces. The front mount intercooler kit (FMIC) is a much needed upgrade for anyone looking to maximize performance. Designed as a direct bolt on replacement to the factory intercooler, this FMIC features factory mounting points for the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor and stainless steel mounting brackets are also included.
