i dont think you will lose power but you might be risking detonation i could be wrong

but youare braver than me

Turn down your boost or you'll stuff the engine dude.

dont have adjustable boost. but what if i just dont boost over say 5 till i get the fmic on?

Just drive it nicely and you'll have no problems.

Have you just run the intake direct from the turbo to the inlet? If so brilliant throttle response!

yep direct from turbo to intake, its like accellerates before i put my foot down cause its that quick lol j/k but its almost instant power and spool just makes the engine run between 1/2 and 3/4 when boosting up hills and stuff, more boost higher the needle, hopefully my 800x300x76 fmic will help bring the internal temp down and icrease some hp

i was running my rb20det with no intercooler only around the block as would have big problems with changing gears, major power loss to the point of almost stalling/ cutout.. fitted the fmic 3 weeks ago and made the world of difference, reduced the over all running temp and a huge difference in power with NO cutout...

excellent great to get some feedback, should have my fmic by the end of this week, then boostin away till my hearts content, runs bloody good as is though, but feels like someones got there foot gently on the brake till 3 psi then there is a sudden power gain,,, and no its not just the boost gain, fells like an extra piston kickin in but its runnign smooth as??

i think you can run it fine, ive seen plenty of VL's on 12psi with no cooler, the bt1's ran 12psi without coolers.. not 100% sure about the RB20DET

That size FMIC is a massive overkill unless u r planning on running a 800hp turbo.

yeah its too big for this turbo but im thinking of upgrading to a 25det turbo and high flowing it or

its 600 x 300 x76 core

800x 300 x 76 end to end

runnnign 12psi with it on

800 wide might need also of trimming of the front bar.

nope she fits dead sweet with about 20 mm each side, had to take off the fan from the compressor though

its like it was made for it, but i did get a r32kit so piping will need some modifications to fit perfect
