Depending what year your car is you will need to upgrade the DV valve. Other than that as long as the car is healthy you shouldnt have any issues with a simple stage 1 remap.

A stage 1 remap will only take into account the stock intercooler, the tuner will run the car richer at the top end to proctect components  from thermal heat build up.

The FMIC will improve efficiency not bhp. Waste of money doing just on a stage1, but if your planning stage2 then get it fitted.

Make sure your coilpacks have been replaced under the recall too

Otherwise its just the uprated DV and some super go-go juice and hello funtime  :evil:

What remap have you chosen out of interest?
