Whatever helps you sleep at night douche bag.

Cooling and flow support Umm no. When people talk about wmi....methanol is the fuel in that particular combination. I never had much luck myself running higher quantities of water. So correct me then almighty. I think you just prefer to be condescending instead. You know what....forget it...

Correct me if I am wrong but the primary 02 sensor only adjusts fuel trims in closed loop operation. Not open loop via wot. Water displaces fuel. In my experience it's not nearly as effective at making power as methanol. I originally started with a 30% meth/water mix and eventually moved up...

On any nozzle that makes any difference you are going to have to adjust fuel trims. There is no getting around it. Even the tiny 300 ml/min nozzles with a 50/50 mix will throw your afrs down in the 9s-10s and make the car run like garbage. Also a 300 mil nozzle isn't going to do much...

Hpfp seems to be far more reliable. Also. If an hpfp quits it will most likely not be at wot. Methanol systems are generally low capacity and only work at higher boost ie WOT. The sureflow pumps and controllers are not reliable long term with the cheaper kits. I have ran 2 different methanol...

So let me re-phrase. What is the highest dyno of a s3/cst4 with a tmic?

Seems like a tmic is a good fit for a k04 though. Atleast in my opinion.

Well bud I wish. Cost is going to keep me away right now and I certainly not going with a cx racing kit. Obviously tmic have their place and I will prolly use one as a stop gap but I personally dont think so highly of them as you do. I have just seen way too many dynos where fmics blow away...

He was on a treadstone fmic on a 400whp s4 (which is larger than an s3/cst4) according to his build list. This was also estimated on a virtual dyno. So 365 whp on a tmic with a larger turbo? dont get me wrong I have no doubt you can make 400+whp on a tmic. However you are going to have to...

On a cst4/s3? Last time I checked all cars making anywhere near that power on those turbos are running fmic on e30-e50. Can you show me? (Yes I am aware the s3 is slightly smaller than the cst4) Personally I like the tmic for the budget and simplicity. Not for power. Just my thoughts.

Small gains on a stock turbo. I would agree with that context. Difference seems to becomes quite large when s3/cst4 size turbos are used. Show me an s3/cst4 close to 430 whp on a top mount? As far as methanol is concerned. Wait until the methanol quits working. Not uncommon for those...

It was my thoughts as well cp-e > cx racing. I knew the treadstone setups were better. However from a budget standpoint you really start to get up there in price. The reason I was comparing the cp-e tmic vs the cx racing fmic is because they are right around $400. Best bang for the buck so...

I am with you bud. I personally would lean to the cp-e tmic in this case but I wanted to hear what others thought.

Original post restored: General rule of thumb is FMICs are superior in cooling and airflow support. However how does a high quality TMIC vs a low quality FMIC compare? Any comparative dynos? Any experience with both? Opinions? For references car is just intake, exhaust, hpfp, and a tune.

Yeah I found that searching around. Good info.
