i have to say mine is less smokey with the FMIC and pd160 intake. so im guessing the air/fuel ratio is better now.

so when i get the forge pipe work on my ss ic it should stop smokin as much then.

i managed to get a side mount ic the other day of tom built it up and went for a spin has a really bad boost leak wasnt till i removed the pipes again that i found there were no O rings on the hoses.lets just say that there was a bran new audi tt really close with his roof now so i put my foot down that much smoke came out ya couldnt see him :cartman: lol

Yes mate, with a side mount it will smoke more, mine did smoke mega with a side mount and now with a fmic, it hardly smokes at all compared to before, and the map hasnt been tweaked.. yet. Its to do with the air with a fmic is much cooler and so the oxygen level is better or something like that.. therefore creating a better combustion :)
