Info on AA Sport FMIC?
I am looking into finally upgrading my stock FMIC. After some price/reputation/fitment research I am leaning towards the Active Autowerke Sport.
I did some research but have found little in terms of reviews, IAT comparisons, HP/Tq gains with FBO cars, install and fitment, especially on N54 135i's. So, has anyone personally had experience or can you point me to a thread with some more info? Thanks! |

I have the AA Sport FMIC aswell. I had a very slight fitment issue where the cooler seemed to sit lower on one side than the other, but a little bit of cutting away the plastic soon sorted that.
I echo what the guy above said. I noticed an immediate difference in the car after install, simply put, it felt like the power was a much smoother delivery through the mid range. I bought it directly from AA. Service was brilliant. http://store.activeautowerke.com/col...-sport-version |

Fits and works exactly as described. The AA FMIC is highly rated . Quote:

I have the AA Sport and it's very good. IATs in 90° ambient temps are in the 110°-125° range. It fits great, minimal cutting (what you do have to cut is just plastic inside the mesh, nothing support-related), and it's black which is still stealthy (which I like). I didn't log any pulls before the intercooler so I can't speak about the actual deltas.

Appreciate all the feedback guys! I guess I will be the one to log IAT's before and after as best I can

I have to be honest, when i installed it, I changed the map on the Cobb to the + map (for FMIC), which I am sure increased the boost, and it would not have been a good comparisson with the pre-intercooler IATs on the non + map to the IATs on the + map, anyway, so you will indeed be the guinea pig! Good luck, if you need any help down the road with install let us know.
