The FMIC is that only worth fitting if you have a stage 2 remap or will it make any difference on a stage 1 remap?
What difference will you see on a standard ecu and stage 1 ecu with FMIC.

It's only worth doing if you actually get a stage 2 map, otherwise you will just have the stage 1 power, maybe 1 to 2 bhp more thanks to the cooler charge.

I found having the FMIC on stage 1 freed up the engine a fair bit

Mine picked up a bit of mpg and power, but then it was a heavy stage 1 to begin with.
