I can see the silicon pipe under the tmic is sucked in a bit and restricted so I need to sort this out as no doubt that restriction impacts upon flow! (hopefully not dangerous to the car??)

I don't want to chop the car in to pieces to fit a FMIC and the process west fmic seems a bit pricey for me $1500 plus maybe $500 to install?) Whats another good fmic for the 06 with out having to chop the car up ??
Process west do a nice tmic for $850.
Has anyone changed TMIC's and seen any gains on the dyno simply by swapping from bad to good?
Or is this just pissing money away with very little gain to be expected? ie bad tmic to good tmic? Maybe just put on some decent silicon hoses to make sure the flow is as good as it can be

cheers n beers
