well considering i'm not going to do too much modifications to the boost or engine for that matter, i'm thinking of upgrading the stock SMIC with a larger item from avo. (pic attached) i'm fairly certain its the same IC used on the SP model. little expensive though ;)

Woo hoo! Now I can sleep. Quick...one of the mods should close this thread before we launch into another debate how SMIC is the "wrong" choice LOL.

Cheers.

the simple solution is - how much horsepower will you (really) want?

if it falls within the limits of the smic - then go for it

otherwise deal with the risk of the fmic or keep saving for a v-mount

I think an upgraded SMIC makes sense for you. If you go FMIC, it takes lots of labor and parts to do a quality conversion; and you have to cut out part of the front bumper support (assuming GReddy FMIC).
