(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  TMIC or FMIC Opinion question, with the cpe tmic being so cheap right now, should I go for it or continue saving for the fmic. I've been reading the threads and I think I cannot use a TMIC if I want to go BiG turbo later. Any thoughts/opinions on the subject welcome.  |

| Not Ranked : 0 score You can also sell the tmic later on when/if you go big turbo. I'm sure at the price they are selling at now compared to other tmic, you will only lose $50-$100 when you go to sell it in the future. If you plan on going big turbo within the next year it probably isn't worth getting the tmic, which is why I haven't bought the tmic either, I don't know how long I'm gonna have this car for or what mods I'm gonna do if I keep it.

| Not Ranked : 0 score For the $$$ difference between the two which is not much I say go FMIC. Do the mod once and do it right. IMO I had this choice a while back and went FMIC just for the fact that the stock turbo on this car WILL smoke at some point and you WILL upgrade. Then to look for a FMIC and turbo, Then sell you TMIC is a PIA to me, Just go FMIC and no worries later on.. | |
