Oooo I'm liking the sound of this  :smiley:

Mods so far:

007p obviously
Sports cat
Customer cat back
3"dp
Silicone hoses
Silicone tip
Ko3s turbo

Then clutch update

I'm looking at getting around 220-230ish as a standard map on k03s is 210. and 230ish will be more than enough for another year  :cool:

should be good for 230 with those mods and standard SMIC although as said heatsoak is noticeable when driving hard.

had 233bhp and 240ft/lb with the SMIC, torque increased to a peak of 265ft/lb with the FMIC on the same map.

if you are planning on changing the intercooler then do it before having a remap. I fitted the FMIC after mapping and while there is more torque the extra pipe work has caused lag which I'm positive can be reduced by mapping to suit.

THS/Forge are the best option and aside from trimming the standard bumper are a very good fit

i  dnt understand why people go expensive on certain things you can get away with being cheap but if you wanna up  rate your ic look a turbo revs smic instead of front as no point in going front mount until you go big turbo and hidden you dont really get the look of it aswell so not worth it

the cheap fmic kits are ok if you are into the pipes hanging out the front of your bumper if your really good you can get them tucked in quite nice but its a bit of a pita
