FMIC without retune - Perth-WRX.com

Hi guys, was wondering if its safe to run a FMIC on my MY03 at 1.3bar (19psi) without retune temporarily.

Would it still be safe to floor it ?

The next available retune is 26th so I was wondering whether I would run into any spikes etc... cheers

well first ya will hit boost cut (i think) and second 19psi is not safe anyways wid the retune

let alone widout it

im running about 1.6 i think with fmic and vf22 on a stock ecu. I really need to get autronics or ecutek.

I used to run VF22 on don't know whatever boost settings with stock TMIC and ECU.

Boost cut at 3000rpm +-. Feels like a 2L NA car to be honest.

Go autronics !

haha i dunno i never ran more then 15psi in me car but i heave "heard" from a couple tuning shops that it aint "safe" meaning there is a possibility of destroying the engine whereas the ecu makes it alot more safe however i will be runnin 19.5 psi when i get me turbo and tune... thanks
