what is the piping size on the UR kit anyway?

 

2.5"

 

 

no, you just need the right piping/intercooler size for the boost you're running. i know more than one person who switched to it from an aftercooler and was more than pleased with the results

i'd go for it later on once i get an EMS/injectors and run high boost.

 

im having the exact same problem, I have the CT kit w/ a custom FMIC and 8 psi pulley but i only get like 4 psi at 8500 rpm. i thin my belt is tight enough and i dont wasnt to go to tight because i heard you can hurt your bearings. I really dont know what to do. i checked all of my silicone couplers and they are super tight. i want to do a pressure check just to be sure but it doesnt seem real easy. anyone have any input?????

 

what is the diameter of ur IC piping??

 

2.5"

 

I think the loss of pressure through the FMIC is going to be greater than .5 PSI. This may be true if you had an aftercooled kit now, going to a FMIC would only have that cause of a loss, but going from nothing to a FMIC is going to cause a lot more pressure loss.

I'm not fully up to date, but I think most guys when going to a FMIC use a different sized pulley to compensate, which I think even Comptech changed in the AP2 kit....

Your numbers sound like 2PSI with a severe intake blockage to me... get a new pulley on or eliminate the FMIC piping to see how it feels and report back

 

You're in the same boat, a 4PSI pressure loss through a FMIC is expected...

On past turbocharged vehicles, switching from a TMIC to a FMIC was AT LEAST a 4 PSI drop...

 

i thought id liven this up again.

im currently at 13psi on my CTSC and am about to order the UR FMIC.

wish me luck
