Thought about doing one or the other of those an the Haldex controller.

Any thoughts on which of the FMICs to go with? I know the Forge comes with a new intake, is it really worth the extra $500 for that? Or will the C style APR work just as well?

Default prices are pretty high on the Forge right now >

for some reason I got mine at a great bargain; if you don't do the install yourself, that'll cost you more also. When I did mine I did the evoheatshield and had the mani extrude-honed before the install; short of that, the APR is probably a pretty good value.

Default I have the APR. Pretty simple install. No complaints...>>

Pics on the ol' Fotki.

Another mod that really helps keep the engine bay cooler is the DV Relo kit. If you are chipped and ModShacked, these two mods are a must to help kill the heat.

Just my $0.02.

I haven't heard any updates on it and I've waited 3 years already to do it.
