whats needed to support a fmic, and some basic turbo questions

I just recently been bitten by the turbo bug. just got my first T2. just curious what it takes to support a starion or conquest IC. i will soon have a RB turbo back, TID, j-spec intakes, removed emissions, my FD fuel pump, FCD, and my AFC.. just wanted to see if the stock S4 turbo can handle this setup effiencently with that fmic at around 10psi. also would it be worth it to invest in a S5 turbo or get my S4 upgraded to a T3/T4?
Thanks,
Dave

Nothing is needed to "support" a FMIC. Lowering intakes temps has no downsides. You could put one on a totally stock engine and performance would be improved with no problems.

An S5 turbo is a worthwhile mod.
