Well that is a hard decision. I went FI and while I love the power/driving experience... I had to go through a lot of BS people and shops screwing me over to get to where I am now.

I would go with: "I went FI and wish I would have known then what I know now... Then it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. But MAN DO I LOVE BOOST!!!"

copy/pasted from my sig on 'motoring (never post there anymore, so didn't bother to change the sig haha)

'03 SB Track, APS TT, Arias 9:1 Extreme Duty pistons, Pauter rods, SGP fully built longblock, JWT cams, ATS triple disc clutch, APS 3.5" downpipes, APS 3" dual exhaust, Crawford plenum, AAM fuel return, 1000cc inj, HKS FCON V-pro 540whp/560wtq on 93 octane
As for what I'm going with in the future, I really don't know. There are things I like a about the APS TT kit, and things that I don't. If I came across an amazing deal on an APS kit, I'd probably jump on it.

It's an addiction. There's a million things that make more sense when considering where to dump your money, but rolling a boosted VQ is like automotive crack. The instant grin & semi-chub make it all worth while

Like a lot of us, I want to go FI (as indicated in my sig), but I don't have the $$$ yet. I want to do quite an ambitious build project for my G ($50-100K).

In the meantime, I do a lot of research over here in the FI and suspension forums so that I learn from other guys' experiences and mistakes about everything from various parts, all the additional items needed when going FI, the $$$ involved, and about various shops/tuners. I want to try my best to make sure that I get it done right the first time.

I want to go FI so bad and have every intention of finding a way to make the money to realize my dream and vision of the ultimate G35 coupe. I'm looking into a second lucrative career on a part-time basis to supplement my full-time income. I already had one job interview last week.
