Default All I can say is that the TT guys who switched from duals to FMIC

have data showing conclusively that the FMIC is better in terms of HP and air intake temps.

The factory ICs are in such a crappy place that an FMIC has to get better air flow.

Default I got dual for several reasons.

While I know if I get a big turbo upgrade an FMIC would help me more, when you put it in (without chip or bigger turbo) I believe you actually loose power, cause of big pressure loss.

With duals, you don't you actually gain a bit. Also, I liked that it was OEM. I plan on getting a bigger turbo but nothing huge, so the duals should be able to handle it.

Finally, my car's engine setup can look stock (with a k04 and dual IC) and make lots of power, while with a FMIC, you better have the power to back it up.
Lastly was price (but not there are much less expensive FMICs that are out)

IIRC, don't some FMIC require bumper modifications?
