It does look like a nice solution for guys who just want to drop in something that will require minimal modification. I wonder if a FMIC would cause any problems with this approach? I don't really have a problem with modification, as the whole damn thing is custom

Yea I think Mikey from FXMD mentioned that to me, I have to imagine that's a little of a convoluted setup and certainly not something I would even entertain doing on a track car. I think his remark on it was "F%$k doing that, I'll revert to what I know works"

Do you have any experience with the syncronic wastegates? They look pretty good, although fitting two of those things down there might be tough

While putting together the engine I noticed that some of my hoses were cracked. So I am going to get a full set of Samco hoses to replace the stock ones that I have. The question is what color to pick? I am typically a non-flashy guy, so black would be in order...but the STI already has a red intake manifold, so red might look good too. Anyone have experience or opinions about how the options would look?
Thanks!
