Which shop?

Assuming you still have the factory TD04 turbo, FMIC is a waste and just makes you slower.

Also 10psi is nearly down to actuator pressure. Run it at factory boost imo.

All star garage. Had a big chat with them discussing my options and the prices of different things.

I'll turn it up a bit then. Thanks for letting me know.

I did a search for TMIC VS FMIC and it generated heaps of debates on the subject.

I couldnt find any threads with a clear "winner" for lack of a better word.

Please correct me if this is wrong but it seems the general consensus is TMIC if running the standard turbo, FMIC if planning on upgrading?

Yes, the FMIC becomes more attractive and a better option as you go into higher horsepower / bigger turbos. Otherwise you are just generating extra lag in the system that a smaller turbo is not offsetting with the power it makes.

Okay that makes alot of sense. Jeez you guys are full of wonderful information. Hopefully I'll catch up with you all soon at a cruise so I can buy you gentlemen a drink and pick your brain.

You don't really need a FMIC until ~350-400hp area. A FMIC will also lose a lot of throttle response.

Since you already have a FMIC, leave it on and spend $1k on a bigger and better turbo rather than trying to go back to a factory set up.

Ideally you would want a twin scroll turbo and a tmic. This is a great combo and whilst you make less power, it has been proven to be faster around the track.

Squeeze throttle earlier, fill piping with air

fuck having a heatsink that is susposed to cool your air directly above your turbo and engine, its retarded and simply a tight ass move by Subi to save money which carried on.

Evo and GTR and fundamentally 99% of other turbo cars seems to do ok with a fmic!
