A better boost controller, an accurate boost guage, and a flash to remove the fuel cut and provide a better tune than the S-AFC might be good things for your car's future ...

It's accurate enough, but if you ever want to run more than 21.75psi, get a new one. You can run the flash and SAFC together, but I'm sure you knew that, since you already searched before making this thread, right? With a tuned SAFC, there should be enough fuel removed to delay fuel cut unless running very high boost (23-24psi?). YOu shouldn't hit fuel cut at pump gas boost levels with a tuned SAFC, but with a Dynoflash, fuel cut will be gone for good.

You also have what is perhaps the worst MBC for the Evo. Why do people keep buying that piece of crap? I have no idea what site or vendor keeps pushing TXS parts, but it has to be someone, because everyday I see a new poster on this site with some TXS part that isn't really recommended.

yeah i upgraded the FMIC because the stock one got thrashed from gravel on the road! But the fuel cut started before the front mount! I think i am going to bump up my flash date to the 11th of march!
