Back when I got my DP installed I thought I would be able to run Map 2 without any issues, but crappy California 91 octane led to inconsistent performance and many headaches. Terry recommended buying NOS octane booster with MMT in order to rectify the octane issue. 1 can per 16 gallons raises it ~3 octane points, and combined with Map 5 I was seeing ~16psi at WOT depending on the gear.

I finally got my 7" VRSF intercooler installed over the weekend, and the difference in power is phenomenal. You know how when you drive your car on a cold night it feels much much faster? Now it performs like that all the time! This morning I hit 19 psi for the first time ever in 3rd and 4th gear. That's without meth. I honestly didn't think I would notice a difference in performance after the FMIC install, so I'm extremely pleased, definitely a great bang for your buck mod. Only complaint is that they didn't send some clip, so my shop had to fab the piece for me, but for ~$480 this was a steal.

Also my shop noticed a good amount of blow-by in my charge piping, and I'll be getting the BMS oil catch can- if you're running higher boost you should definitely pick one up as well. Next mod is flex fuel wires for E85

Yes I have an N55, and yes we need an OCC for higher boost levels

Hi Erik (correct me if I wrong) this is Vu from Four B. Glad you enjoy your new intercooler. I want one and they all out anyhow you should wait until you run E85 better yet E98

Hey man it's Derek (close enough), I'll be getting the E85 setup+OCC next month for sure! I haven't seen anyone running E98 yet, I wonder if the JB4 Map 5 can handle E98?

Thanks for taking the time to write the review! I'm glad you're enjoying the product.

Do you happen to remember what clip was missing?

I believe it was whatever holds the IC onto the car's mounting points, my mechanic said that only the charge piping attachments were included

[Tiago@VRSF]

We don't actually include additional brackets anymore but we do include a couple of upgraded screws to replace the factory screws. Shoot me a PM of how much you were charged for the hardware and I'll send over a reimbursement
