Worth it to upgrade FMIC hoses?

PNWM40i · 10-06-2018, 04:29 PM

I plan on buying an ARM 7" fmic in the next day or two, I'm curious if it's worth it to upgrade the FMIC hoses while I have everything apart. Are there any sort of noticeable gains or is it a waste of money? Thanks

If you ultimately want to run larger turbos then at least ditch the stock connectors. You won't see much gain now but it all adds up down the road. If you're staying stock turbo IMO don't bother.
