It has other advantages (for me at least)
FMIC requires some cutting of my bumper cover (I'd rather not do that) and the extreme heat in TX makes me wonder about the effect of an FMIC on air flow to the radiator, especially in heavy traffic.

Hans taught me the a/c Celsius readout trick on the coolant to keep an eye on it >
no oil temp, and an unfortunate amount of time in traffic - I have a shot sitting in Lakeway Tx last year waiting for an accident to clear, and the ambient temp reads 114; I ocassionally sit on freeways here in Austin at 4 pm coming and going to meetings, and right after I picked it up from the install, sitting at 80deg, ran one notch over tdc on the gauge...

I will probably add an IC within next year. Would never spend $1500 for one. If performance
of one Tyrol SMIC plus one stock SMIC matches or comes close to that of one FMIC, then I would pay $800 for it.
