i have got my forge fmic kit and upper boost hoses now, and wanting to fit soon, would i be able to fit it and carry on driving or is it best to get stage 2 map on the car straight after fitting?

Yup 100%.
Is it a LC or LCR you have as the LC requires a MAP sensor pipe aswell as the hoses and intercooler
The LCR doesn't

Dont lots of people buy forge map pipes whilst doing a FMIC install anyway?
I was pricing up a FMIC the other day and was looking at getting a replacement map pipe but was unsure if i really needed to replace it or it was just engine bling.
But if worthwhile, it is lots easier to access whilst everything is apart.

its not bling as you cant see it, the normal map pipe is flat so quite restictive, as forge say they are not a straight replacement hose, more for a custom setup, (like mine)
