    Um, she does.

    When I fitted my first FMIC, she asked if she can have one too.

    My reply was "I'll do it, but, it has to be a working FMIC"

    It went back just before Jamboree for a water pump. Under warranty too. It had FMIC, SRI, manifold, motor mount, exhaust and coil-overs. They never batted an eyelid when I went to pick it up. I bet alot of them needed a "road test" though.

    HOoray for front mount! I see on page two you replied that you are running lower boost. Good option!

    now one thing, have you looked at this reduced flow to the radiator? What cooling additions have you made?
