No point keeping it stage 1 if you're going to the effort of FMIC'ing tbh. Increasing the boost is part of a stage 2 on these anyway so you may as well have a stage 2 map at the same time. If you can't control your right foot and are worried about clutch longevity maybe a reduced torque stage 2 would be the way to go.
Best thing to do would be to mock up the FMIC pipes before actually fitting them, then they just need a bit of cutting on the day, this is how I did the piping on the Golf. Or a bit more expensive, get a univesal 'kit' off ebay with loads of pipes and bends and you should have more than enough.
Some 'Performance' garages will do complete installs for you but that won't be cheap.... I've seen how much some of those garages want just for flashing someone elses remap lol.
