WOO HOO, New FMIC is installed
I had some issues getting the bumper back on, but in fact i was just being a super noob and put on the cold pipe coming out of the intercooler on in reverse. Anyway, no-harm, no-foul and I'm really glad that I did the work myself. Until you have taken apart part of the car and actually seen the quality with which every component is made, you really don't understand how cool our cars are.
Anyway, I'd like to thank David at Ecode for all the help and patience. Also, projekt8E, I appreciate the words of encouragement.
Now I just have to wait until my little brothers are out of town so I can use their car, then I can get my ECU out and to california for some revo love... When that's all done my complete performance mod list will read as follows.
LLtek intake (with custom heat shielded box) / Ecodetuning FMIC / TT225 injectors / Revo K03 chip (injector specific) / Thermal Race Exhaust
Now i need to get some brake upgrades to slow my *** down.
I'll post pics of the FMIC install in the next couple days. Unfortunately, what was a headcold 2 days ago has turned into a pretty bad flu over the course of 2 days in poorly heated garages.
By the way, if you can't tell, I'm a little excited.

your so right about the quality of the components and build...
The only thing Ive taken apart so far are some panels, fogs and headlights but I can understand exactly what you mean and It's one of the reasons that I will always buy german

LLtek info here!!
Cool. I also installed the FMIC. I agree on all points. I am getting the SPS3 tomorrow so I will make some adjustments David is recommending. Will post results. One quick note. I also had the LLtek intake and the results were terrible. I have dyno sheets to prove it.....if that really means anything. I was at 157.4 with stock airbox......and 139.4 with the LLtek CAI <errrr> hot air box.

What does everyone think about the EVO over the EuroCode?

a few thoughts
I think I like the design of the brackets better on the EVO one, however, the cores look about the same.
I like the idea of having hard pipes instead of silicone, and the price of the Ecode one is much better.
the EVO intercooler does not appear to be any better, much less 300 dollars better. As well, if you're buying a bunch of stuff at once, david might be so kind as to give a little discount.
