Is boost measured after the FMIC or before? If boost is measured after IC the boost is controlled by the piggyback/ECU so boost at the intake manifold will be similar as with the factory IC, will this mean that the extra power of the FMIC is only caused by lower intake air temperature? Further this will mean that the turbo's have to work less to make the same boost (due to less pressure loss in the after market FMIC), so the longelivity will improve. Further advantage will probably be that you can drive an higher boost map during warmer days
Am I correct??

this is especially important when running around on hot days. Summer days around here can be brutally hot and humid, however my 335 still pulled hard on the hottest of days and the IAT logs I did in the heat showed why
