I see from the chart that at peak BHP, which is similar in both cases, that the FMIC managed to lower the boost by 2 psi which is not a bad thing. How do you think this will affect the overall engine longevity and performance?
great work and thank you for the information

Right now the fan is running at stage 2(as if the A/C were on). This may save you from premature fan failure.

BTW, thanks for posting the TMIC vs FMIC chart.

Nice one... although I like the fact it's on all the time, Paul has plenty of spare one's kicking about if it goes, works better in traffic when it's on full time.

No probs on the info guys, happy to help...

Not sure on the longevity, it's got to help though surely, esp round the track.

Having the fan on all the time can cause overcooling, which is not a good thing.

Make sure the temps are always above operating, or the fan will need to be rewired.
