Default do you already have other stuff? ie chip, exhaust, suspension, brakes, etc??

i'd say a big no on the fmic as an early mod, and it would depend on your plans for the car, if you plan to go a bigger turbo later.

Default T.J. : Hey.... buddy buddy buddy.... ;-P -----> Still have that second wheel bearing kit?

Ironic really.... my pass side rear bearing is going waa waaa waaa. It *just* started so i am not too worried about it yet, but if you wanted to get rid of that bearing kit I would be interested.

Let me know!

Default what chip?

if giac get PC-16 or J31 file along with FMIC, adjustable FPR and bigger injectors and then itll DEFF be worth the gains, a FMIC without atleast doing some timing advance i dont think is realy all that worth it unless you live in CALI and can only get 91 octane and its hot.
