get a boost guage and check to see how much boost your running. I dont recommend people get a FCD without additional fuel management. The fuel cut is the apex seal retaining tool.

Don't go with the typical intake, downpipe, cat-back. What will happen is you'll boost too high for the stock turbo, and lean out in the fuel situation. Even if you do get a FCD, there's nothing there telling the car to put in more fuel.

But you can do that if you do the correct fuel mods.

Get a boost gauge (try and get a good one) and just make sure that you don't go too high once you start spending money.
