I would hold off until you get an FMIC. You can try 1+ but make sure to takes logs.

Yes you can try stage 1+, especially if its not too hot out yet. But it would be wise to get the logging function and make sure IAT's don't rise too much and you don't get too many timing corrections.
And Yes 1000% at MHD over Dinan. More gains and a LOT cheaper. |

^Definitely that, I blew my charge pipe on stock tune first day I bought the car lol. It had 50k miles. Definitely upgrade that first if you plan on running a tune.

For a DD S1+ is completely fine. I DD my s1+ with a stock intercooler. But tbh I'd rather upgrade the charge pipe first before the intercooler. (Assuming you don't hammer the car on hot days)
Now charge pipes are all subjective. You can go with one that fits the stock diverter valves, or you can go even one step up and get one with a blow off valve bung, so you can upgrade to a bov. It really depends on your budget. After the tune though, I recommend the xHP transmission flash. I can't speak of it as I have a 6 spd, but the xHP is maybe the most recommended flash for the autos. |

You are probably running very high iat temps not having inter cooler plus a lot of timing corrections your asking for trouble

You are going to want more. Feeling the extra boost is addicting. Just get a CP, DP, and upgrade the fmic and go stage 2+ and call it a day.

Make sure you change your exhaust, downpipe, intake and turbo before stage 1

Ummmmm Yeah no. Stage 1 reflash is for 100% stock, but an upgraded cp is a good idea.

Is it extra money to have the S1 AND the S1+ maps in MHD? I guess that would be the question: does it pay off to buy S1 if you plan to upgrade hardware soon and run S1+?
Also, no exhaust upgrades needed/necessary before the FMIC, or are the equal in importance, or is the FMIC that much needed? Thanks |
