You are hitting dangerous CF's.
Ideally no more than 6 should be seen. 12 is bad news and indicates that the map need adjustment.

why not take it to Will and get the map adjusted, as I am pretty sure he will have mine still on file, so can sort you out I am sure
Told you it needed mapping m8. Obviously the map on it was written for a different car, get all your new hardware on and get it mapped.

seconded - if it was me, stay OFF the boost mate as you really dont want to do any unnecessary damage to the engine

+1
You will never get full boost by 3.5k as it dont request it till after 4k. Map needs adjusting and I'd trust Will to do it.
Erm i don't understand...It came complete same Mods and everything...Anyway it turns out is my tiny FMIC lol...
As my inlet temps are high as fook!!!!
The inlet manifold shouldnt be red hot....to a extent u cant even put ur hand on it....
Thats why ive got high cf's because my cylinder temps are through the roof... Its mapped for a forge cooler!! which i don't have yet lol
this the size of a forge fmic
and my fmic
lol tiny eh!

I think you are walking in the dark mate, seriously, take it to a mapper to get it properly looked at....its a small price isn't to get it sorted properly for all the time and effort you have put into the car and most of all - peace of mind
or do you want to risk possible and sustained damage to the internals?......
its not a map its a restriction with the fmic!!!
look at the size of mine
this the size of a forge fmic

I sure am
with new custom charge pipe
Forge one will suffice fine mate, as it is rated to 400bhp I believe (unless you are going BT at some point)
you will notice an instant difference the minute it is fitted
I did when I junked my Laguna FMIC for the Forge setup - you get what you pay for
i know fella but you can see why i said my FMIC is tiny and its tryin to cope but it can't
Yeah was awesome on a k03s...
Just ''Crap'' on anything bigger than that...
ive done k03 stage 1,k03s custom stage 2 now gt2x custom map then when its sorted will be gt2x hybrid

my FMIC
that uni intercooler reminds me of the Laguna setup. Laguna is thinner but has a wider spread area, and that uni cooler is smaller, but has a thicker core....but probably both works out to be the same
either way on yours, I am damned certain it is the choke point now
Im jealous you badger lol
Anyway Started mocking up my custom charge pipe with alloy madrell bends @ 63mm...
Im nearlly there with it tbh just a few miner adjustments but il do that when the cooler is Mounted and lined up...
The kits is really good quality with the decent jubliee clips that came with it...But the Couplers & elbows are crap like a rubber compound...So when i get paid il replace them with some nice sfs hoses...
Heres the charge pipe nearly Made up Just have to run a bend to the cooler entry then its done:
The difference Between the the OEM charge pipe and the near one:
Im looking in to doing my TB sent up aswell doing away the silicone and doing it in mandrell bends joined with the coupler...
Nearly finished this aswell as i had loads of pipe left over from the kit
And Bought a new cooler and the size is
Dimensions - 550mm x 230mm x 65mm (Core Size)
2.25" (57mm) Inlet And Outlet And the volume is: 822250(mm^3)
And
Dave Smith's old A&M FMIC:
========================
Core size: 540 x 170 x 65 = 5967000 (mm^3)
My Old Ths Cooler
===============
Core size: 530 x 140 x 65 = 4823000 (mm^3
