ye i did mine with him mate just been told loads of **** about boost wont be running ryt with

There will be a slightly increased pressure drop, how much will depend entirely on how much your flowing thru them.

I wouldnt have thaught it would have given any fault codes though. If you've got a barry valve get rid of it before trying anything else.

yes i am with 0 problems and gets the temps down super quick on boost, the FMIC was very slender and has roughley the same capacity as the large pipe that joins the 2 smic,s

way or could i be better off going to just a front mount intercooler tar guys

Was he bent over talking out his **** at the time? That won't cause running issues. Any pressure drops would be very small.
