Welcome... and nice ride. I personally don't like the tailights either (and I do think they're "ricey"). But it's your car, so do what you want to it. As mentioned before, there are a lot knowledgeable members in this forum that know their sh*t.
you should get an upgraded ecu for those upgrades before you blow an engine.

Yea, today i took it through the pressure washer, and they leaked like crazy, I am just going to throw the old lights back on, they look better with the thruxton 19's hyperblack, i think the only reason i kinda liked them ws b/c they kinda mached my old wheels, butnot anymore, Stock is better (coming form a shop owner) and the stock ones are among the best stock tailights on any sports car IMO.
As for an ECU upgrade, what quick suggestions you have for someone who can't tune, something ready to go...

He has some merit in that, the FD is a true performer car. NOT a drag car. Automagic's shine on the strip, that's about it. The last thing I think of when I see my car is "Drag racing" or anything straight line...
Sorry, but there's a reason why they made a lot less auto's....

Your turbos are fine, the vacuum hose job wasnt done properly.
The apexi power fc is plug and play for an FD with dp, cb and intake. You will want to put a catalytic converter on the car, either stock or high flow or once you fix your boost problems you will most likely boost creep due to lack of backpressure and an overpowered stock internal wastegate and pop your motor.
From one shop owner to another, I am very very happy you are ditching those altezzas
