Do you have a DV or a BOV? there not the same yah know

IMHO the boost controller is useless unles you know how to use it right it could probly even hurt your turbo if its set wrong.

You should do the clear corner mod, or buy ecodes! Always adds to the look of the car.

A larger front mounted intercooler on a stock turbo is almost a waste of money.

no fmic and if you have a chip you dont need a boost controller. the KO3 can only make like 17 psi and thats only if the boost spikes

a fmic will only keep your power constant in the heat, that's about it..... In Arizona i loose about 40hp w/out a fmic in the summer by the time i hit 3rd gear from a cold engine..... So a fmic definatly helps in hot conditions, but otherwise it is a waste of money till you get a bigger turbo..
