The FMIC will only help the reliability of your car as long as you make sure to keep your plastic undertray and verify it is not causing raised water temps. The IC really isnt a "performance" mod, it is used to maintaint the best possible intake temps and while you are at it you should consider a water/meth kit also.

water/meth injection is fantastic for rotary engines but it does require a re-tune. which you will need a Apexi PFC or a reputable aftermarket ECU and a good tuner.

You would be fine to install the fmic. You may notice boost coming on a bit slower than stock, but that is due to the increased intercooler piping over a stock setup.
