so i have a fujita intake will this cause any fitment problems with a turboxs fmic? also i dont know much but what are the pros and cons with this or any other fmic? thanks

After a brief talk with TurboXS about their FMIC, they say it will only work with their intake. I don't know how true that is, but I didn't buy one just because of that statement.

Get the Corksport FMIC. Its better quality and comes with a ram air intake and turbo inlet. You cant beat that.

I have heard some people say that the turbo xs fmic core is on the large side and won't net you gains other kits could unless you crank the boost up a few more psi. On the other hand, the other kits I have seen/heard of have no problems with more boost anyway. Look in my sig for a $760 fmic kit, or go with cp-e I'd say. If you get corksport it uses the ram air intake which I like.... but for me $760 > $1200 FTW!!

760 is cheap, but does it include an inlet pipe and an intake? People think the Corksport kit is expensive cause slot of them don't realize it's not just a FMIC, it comes with more stuff as well.

That's true, but I already have everything else I need.......

Yeah, if you buy the CS FMIC, you now only get the intercooler kit, you also get an intake (which will be located where the TMIC is for better flow) and the turbo inlet all in one. So basically, you're paying for quality and extra goodies.

the TXS kit looks great! My only complaint is the core looks way too big for a k04 turbo, but if your planning to go bigger, that's a different story.

Google is your friend.

WHAT IS FUEL CUT?
Fuel cut is actually a removal of the the injector firing signal from the ECU. This is to say that your engine computer doesn't put fuel in the engine, hence the name.

WHAT CAUSES FUEL CUT?
Despite the rumors of fuel cut being caused by too low of fuel pressure, too small of injectors, high flowing exhaust, high flowing intake, or large turbos fuel cut is not directly caused by any of these. Fuel cut is actually caused by the ECU seeing more air entering the engine than it was originally programmed to use. This likely cooresponds with an injector duty cycle which is unsafe or unattainable. So basically fuel cut is caused by the MAF seeing too much air. Don't ask what too much air is....

WHY DO WE GET FUEL CUT?
Since fuel cut is caused by the ECU seeing too much air we get fuel cut by increasing the air flow through the MAF.

WHAT CAUSES TOO MUCH AIR TO BE SEEN BY THE MAF?
Many things can cause this. basically anything you do to the engine to make more power increases the airflow...way to many to list here.
