I was looking at a FMIC, but I decided against it due to the unbearable lag that others with my turbo experienced with one.
Hmm, Lag has never been a problem with ICs on Turbo Dodges. A TII (Garrett T3) turbo with a powerstroke IC is common. I mean, I know I want a FMIC. I just dunno if I wanna rock this one or get a new one. Thanks for the input, I understand that lag can be a problem in some cars but I've never heard much from TD guys. My boost will be 18 on the high side prolly 10 on the low setting, the turbo can go to 30.

PS- The bigger lag issue for me will come from a restrictive exhaust housing.
