I have no doubt in their findings. But those are not increases in Hp and torque...
They are simply saying that their FMIC after five back to back runs gave more HP and torque than the standars OEM intercooler. Totally believable. Now to say their FMIC will be better then X Y Z brand FMICs is unknown. Also they don't mention anything about pressure drop and turbo lag. They don't even say which type of turbo they were running.

I'm actually not in Toronto at the moment
However that is where I live. Depending on how the conversation goes, I may have to return to Toronto to bring them my car, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll send you an e-mail with my number.
