FMIC Options

[Pablobtown]

So I'm thinking about getting a FMIC. I have the stock t25 turbo, but will be upgrading to a big 16g down the road. Is there a good FMIC that will bolt up to both turbos with minimal/zero cutting and welding?

On a side note, is upgrading the SMIC pipes worth it? Should I upgrade those and save money for the turbo? I don't want to waste money on an IC upgrade for the t25 and have to buy a whole new setup for a 16g.

I would honestly wait for you to upgrade to your 16g as long as the piping is still in ok confition. Don't waste the money. Always been a fan of the punishment racing kit.

Im with him ^ if your stock piping isnt leaking or anything I would wait for your turbo. As far as getting the turbo or fmic first I think thats a coin toss. I would ###### get the fm first so when you get your turbo your good to go. I have a vsrf fmic I like it but I think im gonna switch to the punishment fm kit.

There's hard sidemount piping in the classifieds somehwere here for $80 which isn't bad. The hard sidemount piping worth it depending how long down the road you're going to upgrade. If you're upgrading turbo soon then just wait and get FMIC and turbo on at the same time. You'd have to buy j-pipe piping again anyway if you get a kit for the T-25.

Alright, I'll just save up and get both around the same time. I cant push boost past 13-14psi until I complete the list of pre-turbo upgrades. Got a BOV and intake, buts that about it for now. Fuel pump re-wire this weekend. Thanks guys
