Default turbo piping

I was wondering if they have a "better performance" piping for the turbo and intercooler piping, or is the R series piping any better then the 2.4t pipes. and if the R is better is it direct bolt on?

I truly can't answer this. However if it is better it isn't by very much. As for a direct bolt on I doubt it would be.

What you can do is create your own custom FMIC. Cost will be around $500 or so bucks depending on what you buy and then instillation fees.

Buy an FMIC intercoolor and then an assortment of different piping all one size in diameter. Like 2.5"-2.75", 3" may not fit in the tight engine compartment.

how beneficial is the fmic for a 2.4t pushing around 13 psi bc of ecu flash. in you know a rough estimate of power gains or how it felt if u have it. a breif overview is what i would like.

A FMIC in general is better the the intercooler setup we are running now. More cold air will be able to get to the intercooler since it will be relocated.
