what he said. I'm on a stock charge pipe with stock DVs and a stock FMIC and I run more boost than most. Never blew a charge pipe and when I turn it up to 18-19psi my IATs are still at or below ambient with meth.

Tune plus intake first. Then LSD if you are RWD like most (depending on your budget), then meth or DPs, depending on whether you want more sound first or more power, then whatever else will help incrementally. Just my humble sometimes misinformed opinion. My car is kind of fast though and is just fine with lots of severe abuse. I assume that a FMIC will help overall efficiency generally speaking, and will help more without meth than with meth. some people don't want to run meth though. Hell, just get them both at the same time and call it a day
