Daily driver FI QUestion

Then like I said before, there are always those instances when you may run into a problem, and the Z being you're only vehicle would make things that much worse.
Thanks for everyones input. I'd love to hear some full parts lists from some people. Preferably with little engine internal modification. Thanks again!

I have the JWT in mine and have a 130 mile commute round trip everyday. Now I do have a built motor so my setup would be a little different than non built, I have an AEM tru Boost boost controller which gives me 3 choices, off running on the w/g springs and 2 adjustable settings, I have one set at 9.5 psi and the other at 11 psi. Most of my driving is off on the springs, works good for me and I can leave the VDC alone most of the time. Running at 9.5 and 11 I need to turn off VDC or else I can get power cuts from the ecu if I'm not careful. I still average 22 MPG overall but that can drop significantly if I do any stop and go driving.
From my experience once the kinks from the install get worked out you'll love it but you will have to change the way drive. I went from stock to tt built motor JWT clutch/flywheel, the whole feel of the car changes and you need to be careful and pay closer attention the throttle and the gauges. Another thing, if it's your daily driver, get a cheap beater car for emergency wheels and have spare money and plan for the unexpected.
BTW From the time I bought my car up until the TT install I've never had a problem. Since then I've been towed home twice, almost 3 times, all 3 times it was installation issues.
