Can always use a j-spec while you rebuild the one you just popped?

Judging by the mods you already have, I would reccomend getting an FMIC. You already got the FCD, fuel mods, full exhaust. The only thing left after the FMIC would be a standalone computer or a big single.

Good luck, your car is nice

Well if you wanna wait a few weeks I'll have my intercooler installed. And a boost controller will let you raise the boost since you have the fmic.

well, the only fuel mod i have is a walbro fuel pump...
i was under the impression that 550cc injectors couldn't keep up with 12lbs of air.

any input about this?

I think about 12 pounds is the most you'd want to run with just the walbro. With a SAFC I think that you can maybe a pound more but the injector duty cycle gets really stupid. Think about how far you realistically are going with the car. I think some 720's in the secondaries would be great and a SAFC to control them. That will cover the stock turbo and even small hyrbid. If you need more fuel for a bigger hybrid pop some 720's into the primaries and you are good to go. If you want to go full to4 swap....save some more money

actually i dont have a catback. (mine is stock) so its pretty much just bottlenecking my downpipe and straightpipe...
would you all recommend a nice RB or greddy powerextreme catback and a nice intercooler? (i can make the piping)

Ok so you dont have a catback, then dude its simple you have to get one id go with a single like the N1 then you have some extra cash for the apexi s-afc, then after shipping your just about at 1k
N1- no more than 500 bucks
Apexi S-AFC- you know like 3-350
then the shipping youll have like a hundred bucks left over to save up some more

If your going to get a catback, just buy a muffler and have it made. Should save you some money and you won't have to install it. BUT I still say go with the intercooler. It will lower you intake temps so you'll get more power per/psi. It allows you to boost higher safely and it costs alot so who knows when you'll have the money to do it again.

my rims are the 16" retro 80's radial saw wheels that came stock on the S4 turboii's. i just photoshopped those on there
they are konig monsoons i believe. 17" but keep in mind that when i photoshopped, i had to change the size a little bit to make it look right.
