:edit:

on a 30 degree night last winter i touched the FMIC on the outlet side after he was driving for about an hour, it wasn't even warm and he still had the engine running
I am going to need to retune anyway. Since the elevation is different (4500 ft compared to sea level), air is thinner, so the turbo spools later, it pulls less vacuum, and the car runs richer than it did back in California.

Once I get all my stuff on this side, I will retune it and see if I can get some power back.
