Advice On Future Mods (Mostly FMIC Advice)
So, finally I will be going with the CBRD Rad Lite (for simplicity's sake). A big swap will most likely be next summer. For now I'll stick with my original plan.
SO....that means I have a few questions.
1) Does the Grimmspeed 3-Port EBC work with Ralliart's? I called Grimmspeed and they said they didn't know but thought maybe some people had used it on their RA's. Should I just keep my boost pill?

2) I currently have an X FMIC. I'm wondering if I'll really benefit if I go with something bigger ie. Perrin/ETS 3.5" or UR 4.5". I just want to make sure I don't lose pressure. Looking for the most advice here...
3) Will I benefit whatsoever from an intake? I would only go with the AEM RA one but will I gain much VS Works High Flow Filter?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm going to be doing all this in the next month or so.
Cheers guys

the grimspeed works 100% with the ralliart - i have one installed on mine
haha, the other two questions, i have also pondered! i have the rad (but have considered upgrading the aem intake from a cosworth panel and possible a bigger cooler from the x i currently have, along with a dv - synapse or cobb) so will be interesting to see the responses!

As you can see from my signature, I have full exhaust/intercooler piping/X FMIC.
Now that I'm going to RAD Lite, I feel a 3.5" intercooler will greatly benefit the car, as it would a stock X turbo. But not larger than a 3.5".
That being said, I'm happy to hear about the Grimmspeed and I will definitely have it tuned.
Hopefully in a month or so I'll have:
1) Rad Lite
2) AEM RA Intake
3) Grimmspeed 3 port EBC
4) ETS 3.5" black anodized FMIC with red ETS stencil
Hoping to add that to my current set-up and hit 360whp/360wtq on pump gas.
