| Hi I guess you might be a bit biased, but as someone thinking of the FMIC for my Fabia vRS, what I'd like to know is how much lag will it add to turbo spool up? My car is stock at the moment but I would be using the FMIC as part of a remapping to approx 180bhp and 300 lb/ft. I know it will reduce the air intake temps but I'm concerned that with a remap using the FMIC my lag-free car will become a lag monster!! Any ideas? Thanks! Fab vRS |

| Not a hellish lot of lag to be honest, infact hardly noticable to standard unless you are really looking for it, If you have this on the car before your map and get a custom map then the tuner will take this into account.

| we have many of these out in the market place and I havent had any comments or issues with lag at all ....as above a good custom map ( which we can provide ) will take this into account on the sofware upload.....all in all the FMIC far outways the benefits if the smaller OEM unit

| Thanks! I wasn't sure if a remap could take account of the potential lag but if it can then I can see lag should not be an issue. I would be having my car tuned by JBS/Custom Code so would be it cheaper to buy the FMIC direct from you or via them? |
