FD>S2000.
By alot you guys are all idiots for asking that.
S2K's are clean cars but nothing even in comparison to the FD performance.
welcome to the forum, have a good stay man!

Nice FD. Very shiney. What's wrong with your hood though? It looks like a mutant....
Also, what part of Philly are you in? And +1 to whoever flamed on people asking which car is more fun, the s2k or FD
I like S2ks and all, but let's be real here..
Yeah, I hope you have a boost controller or an ECU for those mods. I'd hate to see a new owner blow his motor so soon.

You might want to keep your foot off the throttle until you get a better ECU in there. Running an open intake and open exhaust will cause boost spike...and that will cost you your motor.
You'll also want to get your wastegate ported, because the stock wastegate is too small to be able to control the boost when you're running an open intake and open exhaust(hence the boost spike).
On an unrelated note, I have a high flow cat for sale and am looking to buy a midpipe, if you are interested in trading.
A cat will save your engine, if you are running it without a tuned ECU.

my ecu is tuned im pretty sure. thats what the tape on it says atleast.
question. are you saying if i have a boost spike (a boost spike would cause a hesitation around 3 grand right?) my engine is done?

no. 3k hesitation is a known issue with several different potential fixes. check the FAQ for more info.
Boost spike will create boat loads of super lean, high boost power. For a few hours at the most, usually a few seconds. Then you're engine is done.
The tape on the side? do you have a picture of this tape? There are very few companies who reflash the stock ECU. None of them call it an R1(R1 is a stock trim level).
Even with a reflash or standalone, I'm pretty sure you also need your wastegate to be ported in order to control the boost. I could be wrong on that one, though.
