The ER FMIC pipes seem to be bigger than stock and metal not plastic.

car has better response and is adapting to the new parts.

Ill update in a week after a HPDE.


Found the main cause of the issue was a torn where the clip goes in toward the rear of the charge pipe.

power wise, not much, just seem a little quicker with throttle response and piece of mind knowing i wont blow a hose or CP 2 laps into a HPDE session.

It's like when you add an intake, some say it does nothing, some say they can feel it on the butt dyno...

It's more preventive than power add-on.

More of a preventative upgrade to avoid the nuisance of stock CP's, either cracking or popping off.

what are the consequences of the CP breaking? Can debris from the CP itself get inside the engine and cause any issues or you just lose power while there is a leak?

your car being loud, no boost, limp mode, ruining your track day, CEL lights, a loud POP from inside the cabin.

I would highly recommend it since you never know when or where its going to happen.
