Well as the title says, How much, if any, gain is expected from fitting a FMIC to a MY97 wrx?



Current mods.... 3inch turbo back, hi'flo cat.

K&N in box filter, will be changed to a pod soon.

Turbosmart blow off valve.

Chiptorque chip.



Just wondering if it was worth the conversion?

10-20kw depending on the tuner.....



worth it if you are keen on spending money... also depends a lot on the brand/piping etc...



talk to me offline I'll tell ya some other pros/cons

remove the resonator from inside the front guard and leave the panel filter for summer then swap to the pod for winter. fitting a fmic will increase kw but also lag unless you go for engine management with anti lag setup. I personally beleive that fmic is a waste of time unless you are running 18psi+, have a look at fitting water sprayers to the top mount like the sti setup. for info on wrx mods check out some of the yahoo groups for info.

Chiptorque actually make a good cold air duct that fits into your air box which works well



If you didn't want to spend heaps of dollars
