Im on stock turbos and im doing my FMIC on saterday and the reason i went with the fmic is because down the road i want to upgrade the turbos and side mounts work great but not as well as a FMIC so why buy intercoolers twice when you just get it done right the first time and save about 1,000 bucks i mean a fmic isent gonna hurt... and it allows you to mod your car more if you so do so goin down the road... i saw at M I R a red TT with a fmic on stock fascia runnin 12.30's on stock turbos so... like i said it cant hurt.
