So...
5.5 psi pulley = 2psi with front mount
7psi pulley = 3 psi with front mount
9psi pulley = 8 psi with front mount
...wtf
haha From this thread it seems there is no way to run stock boost with a front mount.

That is why you shouldn't run a FMI with a supercharger anyway.
It looks cool, and that is about it.

Unless he just wants the bling, an air to air is pretty much worthless under 30mph.
The guy who wrote this lives in Wisconsin. It's only warm there for 2 weeks a year.
He'd be a lot better off building a custom airbox, changing out his fan and putting the filter directly on the charger. Compared to a std vortech intake there's an instant 8 to 10rwhp on the dyno. I'm assuming it helps out a comptech too.
Put an aut plate on it and be done. Free the air let the intercooler do the job.
and that's my opinion.

I'll say it again, the colder intake temps more than make up for the power loss due to boost. Not only does it make up that power, but it does it at a safer psi level.

how are you measuring IATs? i've never seen an IAT gauge.
im sure they are not perfectly accurate but they are better than nothing.

the ECU reports IAT's (among other info!) already. i use a scangauge to monitor them, but anything similar will work.

now that i think about it, i'm sure it does read IAT.

the SC benifits from the larger FMIC piping when matched with a smaller pulley, injectors and more aggressive tune. with stock psi, the piping may be too big which will be the reasoning for the loss.
as UR stated, their FMIC was based on a higher boost SC. the FMIC piping was meant to work with a higher boost SC.
