hopefully it'll be reasonable and I won't have to do it myself...
A funny detail is that the stage 3+ does not include a high flow cat... ??!!!?

Default couple comments...

The fit of the APR S3+ on my car was/is pretty poor. not sure if that is the case on all s3+'s but that was the case here. For example, the inlet pipe on the turbo is too big and pushes against the headlight. wrong orientations on hoses, and some other issues. Most importantly, there were no instructions given.
You will need the carbonio intake for that kit.
What clutch are you running?
Other then that it pulls strong, i'll know more later since i just picked it up today.

Default I talked to him. He was very helpful, but I decided to go with the local distributor.

parts+installation will be a faster/cleaner solution for me.

Default I'll see what I'll need to get.... I don't think carbonio is a must as far as function goes, but it

might be good for getting it fit right...
FMIC, etc. will also need to be decided soon. I'll use my stock clutch until it starts to die.

Clutch > FMIC. When APRS3 kills your stock clutch, you will miss the money spent on the FMIC.
