No more MR nice guy! Parts installed.
You picked a fantatic catback exhaust system, that nothing else can touch for the price. It is the lightest and best flowing system you can buy shy of a 3.5" APS or Goliath HPF exhaust.
The FMIC is very nice as well. The VTA bov looks nice and the install is clean, but will cause slight hesitation when shifting to the next gear. The HKS RS intake looks nice also, but you need a tune (at least a mail in tune) to compensate for the lean condition it creates below 4800 RPM. The FMIC is also causing a lean condition also in the midrange. With a tune you will have a pretty well running car. Just be carefull with it until you get it tuned. You are about $200 away from a really nice running car. You spent for the good stuff, so spend the little bit extra if you can.

When you recomended something else to me? Only after I posted that I had the intercooler installed, and by the way my parts were really cheap. No many coments on this but I bought the exhaust from the store owners car with 1 month use and included installation etc etc.
If you think you need to bash me, let me know what else you would install to make this work.
My plan is a downpipe and a 20g-9 or a big turbo and I wanted to have the parts I'll end up without spending twice on them.

Thanks for the advice. The exhaust is awesome, and light as air, it is 3.1 " and is not as loud as adverticed (inside the car with AC on
) They just went up in price $260 and will go up again, I paid much less than previous price. Will a tune for a car that has 264/272 work better for me ? (just in case mine does not come in on time, I have access to it)

Make sure you look at your maps when you get them from Dynoflash. He set my low octane fuel and timing the same as my high octane fuel and timing. Really stupid maneuver imho as it doesnt allow any adjustment for knock and could cause some serious engine damage.
Installs look good!

The parts were bought because the price was right and they were installed in the same shop, and they are part of the final plan. Eventually a stand alone and big turbo.
The car, even with the bov to the atmosphere, drives smoothly. and in any case that changes with the flash, it can be routed back.
Any recommendations for the next mods?
