as i say over and over again - depends what you're going for and what turbo you're on at the moment AND the fuel you're putting through...
Wacking a front mount on a stock dturbo will only lag your car...

Stock lucas + K14 + FMIC = laggggggg and matty, while you're here and such a TMIC fan, how can i keep a TM, but prevent the rediculous heatsoak. im building a decent low end motor and starting to suffer after a lot of twisty-hitting... i dont fancy a gash bonnet scoop

Could you not take the inside carpet shit out and bodge some cold air feed from the front?

rofl...
not being funny, but im on a td04l, pushing probably around/over 40psi, its well, fairly laggy and gonna be way out of its efficiency producing a lot of heat i imagine and I've been around the lanes today, giving stick all the time (Gonna upload a vid later), and it's not that bad. In the summer, I admit it is horrible after a good good good run. But people make it out to be the worst thing ever. I don't find it THAT bad - From my personal experience anyway. Also "+FMIC", the added pipework, won't even take that long to pressurise up. This is my point.

answered my question really well there :|
i feel the difference a lot, does my head in... but then you need to consider the air your pushing the disadvantage of warmer air. almost equals itself... im running lower, more 'intense' boost, you could say, for very short blasts and i can feel the difference after a good 30minute bashing

Well I guess if you suffer from bad charge temps...the answers are obvious aren't they really. FMIC/Meths. "intense boost" ... confused? What psi are you yet atm?

Well, if your determined it's going to make too much of a difference. Water injection/meths would be cool ;D

Yea, they do. The Devilown stuff is. I remember talking to Dave ages ago about it. Could build one up quite cheap I suppose. But it looks quite easy to get carried away, boost switches 'n' all.
I think the devilown one is virtually the same as shurflo pump's iirc and there cheaper. Ask Dave/Ruan if I where you. If I see anything, i'll post up.

Sigh....Ginge, lag is only lag from a standstill, once you're boooosting ur boooooosting, just keep the MFer on blow... You need to stop speaking with authoity on the subject, i've seen u saying the same shit to noobs about fmic and tbf ur pretty out of tune...no offence mate but i'm calling things how i see them x.

There is threshold lag, and inertia lag, both dictated from exhaust gas velocity. One from engine rpm, and one from actual combustion. This is why teasing them with clutch can get them on boost quicker A big big turbo wont get on boost as quick after a gearchange even though its past its threshold, because its waiting for combustion to happen aswell, the whole system has much more mass to move in the turbo. Hence why adding a charger etc helps because you get combustion to aid in exhaust flow bringing a larger turbo on way before it would normally on natural engine flow.

How will that help, the "inside carpet shit" IS a cold air feed from the front if you actually look at it and it works rather well at that! FMIC made no real noticeable difference at all in lag to mine but the TMIC isn't as bad as people make out!

For once i agree with Ginge, I really dislike the feeling of heatsoak and I find it pretty noticeable. Completely different to how an HDi feels to drive which is what makes me think it's heatsoak causing the issue - the dt is great for the first 2 minutes of boost then just goes flat until i let it cool off by pootling for the next 15 minutes.
Unless you want to muck about with w/m inj as suggested above, or maybe an ice pack on the cooler every time you go for a spirited drive, then the best option is going to be an FMIC. From what i've experienced of cars with FMIC we're talking perhaps half a second difference in lag, if that. Difference in boost threshold, which is what i suspect you're actually talking about, was even less noticeable. If you're basing your assumptions on Phil's car then remember he's always got a boost leak lol, so it's going to take considerably longer to spool and respond to throttle inputs.

FMIC will make next to no difference in lag, seriously! Probably like 100/200rpm, thats it....

Haha, worded that appallingly, what i meant to say is that i agree with that tiny little bit of his post that said he could really notice heatsoak. Otherwise it's all bollocks, naturally.

I'm basing all my points on what i've read from other forums, not just pug forums, evo, scooby forums etc, and the complaints people make for front mounts.. So yes matt, disagree with me, im not here to cause arguements or prove a certain point.. the the issue i was raising in my first post here was to consider more than just dropping a front mount on the car for the sake of it.. and no, im not basing any opinions on phils car

Alright, let's chill. But I do agree with Mark on this one, as he's just emphasised what I've said.
"FMIC made no real noticeable difference at all in lag to mine but the TMIC isn't as bad as people make out!" Kind of summed it up I thought. But if you don't believe in wanting to FMIC, and there's not really much you could do to the TMIC itself, it's what I've said yesterday really I suppose, water/meth injection. ;D edit: Peaceout xx
