Did you notice an increase in boost? Keeping power in longer?
I think I'll be ordering the DepoRacing "Beast" IC. 5.5". Reason why is because I look to go big turbo in the future and I might as well get one that will suite my needs later on as well.
Can't go wrong there. Depo is a pretty inexpensive core. I haven't really heard anything negative of them on here either, other than the wait times. The Beast is pretty massive and beautiful at the same time.
No boost increase but power stays longer for sure due to the low charge temps stopping any negative corrections. When stock and 80*f or higher sometimes my car would rip, other times it would fall flat on its face. Now it's consistent no matter what and my charge temps are about ambient.
After some further reviewing and videos, I might just stick with the 3.5" reason cause a video I seen of an install, 3.5" barely cleared the front bracket with removal of the AGS and I don't want to have to do a bunch of removing, leaving parts of. If anyone has the 5.5" please message me on how your installment went. Any info on the DepoRacing 5.5" would be helpful
From what I understand, you'll need to remove the AGS before installing any fmic. Putting it back on is another question. But honestly, I see no reason to re install it.
I would plan on leaving it off. Do you know by any chance if a code would pop it in regards to that?
It shouldn't. I don't have mine currently, worst case if you're tuned, your programmer should be able to clear.
I believe it will if you disconnect the motor that runs the AGS. However, you can pop the motor out of the AGS shutters and zip tie it somewhere in the engine bay. I did this after installing my FSWerks FMIC and haven't had any issues.
Mine is completely removed and disconnected with no CEL. I believe there will be a stored code though.
I noticed the Vortech FMIC didn't make the list. Any info on that one? It's the unit I'm most interested in due to retention of AGS.
