Definite restriction. We run 3.7 pulleys and see 14lbs on 427ci setup's.

I believe a FMIC will lower your boost because it flows better. The twins are a restriction. If you went with a FMIC your boost would go down, meaning you need a smaller pulley.

Well if the twin were a restrictions, wouldn't a FMIC let the engine see more boost? I know if you make the engine breathe better, there would be less boost.
What I don't get, is others with the twins are making over 600 rwhp and more boost. There is even one guy with a P1 doing it.
But it does make sense the twin could be a restriction. If I can get a good deal on a set of 4.5" I will try them first.

you could fit a boost gauge before and after the intercoolers , to see IF and how much they restrict your flow/boost.
would be a shame to change your setup only to find out that wasn't the bottleneck, but something else (like belt slippage)

I may just change out the belt for a newer one first.
