I'm thinking about getting the HPF fmic. Anyone running a fmic with JB+? I honestly don't want to stress my turbos with a more agressive tune and in the summer time my car almost feels like an NA due to the lack of power because of heat!

uhh, the point of the intercooler is to make the boost less harsh on the rest of the car by lower the temperature that the extra boost creates.

so the FMIC will only benefit

They work great together. The cooler IAT will also trigger the JB+ to bump up boost slightly for you.

Interesting, I would think the JB+ would want to reduce boost, therefore helping the turbos not spin as fast and still maintain a constant amount of power with the FMIC in.

Only good can comefrom this mod. The HPF unit looks really grat as well.

+1..lower iat, lower amount of boost needed to reach same power level, no?

The JB+ isn't aware of duty cycle, only air intake temperature. It would see the cooler air intake temperature, decide it was safe to run more boost, and raise it slightly. Nothing major but the JB+ and IC work well together.

Interesting, two points that might help though, if the intake temps are about 30-40* cooler in the winter, it will run even more boost ? When does it know the limit ? If someone runs a JB in 100* weather, then puts and intercooler on and runs it in 45* weather, seems like an equation for something to break . . . since the JB is not aware of duty cycle, it would just run more and more boost until you either A. exhaust your turbos and they fail or B. something fails ? No ?

No, the allowable adjustment range is pretty small. Around 1.5psi from 50 degrees F to 160 degrees F.
