If you are using it how much boost are you running on it ?

Me, 8 psi for almost a year and a half. It's not huge but it does the job and doesn't cost $1000 like most FMIC's.

The Starion loses efficiency somewhere around 13psi I beleive.

I used to have one installed in my car. It works fine if you are boosting 8-13 psi, but if you run higher boost, it heat soaks pretty quickly. I did 18-19 psi runs at the track, and it seems after two runs back to back, I have to let the car sit, so the i/c could cool. How do I know it's heat soaked? Well, after the second track run, the i/c outlet feels warm, I begin to hear detonation, and my times get slower. Of course, this will also be affected by other factors, such as: weather temperature that day, size of your turbo, fuel system efficiency, etc. Other than that, it works great!:thumbsup

yeah i have one also, i really like it, i am running 8-10 psi on it, and i can see it heat soak from time to time on that psi, so 19 i would go with something different... it is a great buy for a custom setup, or up to 12 psi i would say.
