Also, you're saying that with a FMIC the temperature sensor gives fault? Super new with this, trying to understand
No no no, no faults. Turbos create heat as they compress the air to push into the engine. The higher the boost pressure the higher the air temp is. The stock intercooler is not very efficient at keeping intake air temps down with raised boost pressure.
