Good read this. Lots of well thought mods. Not just going for the most common or expensive parts. And obviously it's spotless.

Very similar spec to what I hope to have, just hope to add an intercooler. Hope to get similar numbers too.

Why the change to a fmic? What one you going for?

How much of a difference did you notice from stage 1 to stage 2?

To reduce IAT's which get very high when temps are above 15-20 degrees... I'm looking at a twin-pass setup to go on... you only realise you need the FMIC when you've been driving the car in Winter :rofl:

Stage 1 to Stage 2 is not as much as going from standard to stage 1 ... but the downpipe, decat, exhaust, TIP, etc... all make the car pull harder but also makes the turbo spool up quicker.

Funny thing is I let the Wife using my car this weekend as I had blocked hers in so threw her the keys ... when she got back she mentioned she'd like more power from her own car...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
