only worth it IMO if you plan on holding onto the car for quite some time. Also only worth it if you get the work done at a top notch shop with a great tuner and don't try to push the envelope with what hasn't already been done. That way there's fewer headaches

Extremely happy I went with my kit and I'm doing it all over again in a few weeks.

If you boost responcibly, you boost forever.

I think if your a stick, theres no reason not to be FI. I'm one of the few with a 5at twin turbo set up. (On a G)... Its a little different, I think once I built the tranny I'll be truely happy with it.

But its like a whole new car!

Should've had a choice like:

"If I had the money, then I would go FI. But I don't."

I stand by that.
