Ive fitted a fmic 2day :funk: Took it for a test run and it dosnt seem right, every time i put my foot down i could hear a whistle sound quite similer when turbo spool up when you fit tip. the car does feel laggy and not that resposive. dont have boost gauge yet. Does this sound a like a boost leak?:help:
By fitting fmic do they cause extra sound from the engine bay or no different at all?

Yeh sounds like a boost leak mate if it's the uni one from eBay the pipes don't have any flanges on and leak there and with enough pressure blow the silicone ones off
