is fitting an fmic worth it on standard turbo with remap?

Either an FMIC or an uprated SMIC, the standard SMIC is rubbish and you'll be losing loads of power if you try and blast it too many times in a row.

To the OP - if only you'd been in the market for a VRS a while back you could have had Des's car for your budget, over 20k worth of Octy.

cool, like a bit of butchery!!!

would be good to see progress pictures, just will need a quiet place to do it out of way of wife!!! :bandit:

supposed to be family run-a-round :rofl:

yes im waiting until the folks are away on holiday, then i'll fit it as the old dear goes barmy when i tinker

yh i know chicken came in at the wrong time however i like the whole fact of upgrading myself allows some of me to go into the car, but would have been nice to have it all out of the box as it were

I had noticed that the lag/power loss if it had got a bit hot from a good ragging.
