Is it a bad idea to fit an FMIC without IMMEDIATELY getting a remap?
ie - drive around for a month ( ~800 miles), and THEN get it remapped?

Ok cheers. Does it matter that i'm not using a boost controller of any form? just letting it go how the factory ecu tell it to (peaking of 0.7, occasional split second blip of 0.9)I haven't and I have had mine fitted for a while, but I am still running at just above stock boost pressure. The FMIC doesn't really make any difference. Boost is why you need a remap because it can change you air / fuel ratio. It's just the fitting fo an FMIC and upping the boost go hand in hand.
Ok cheers, so what do you mean by closed and open loop? is that one with an in and out for the vacuum, and one with just an in? Also when you get the boost controller i assume you get the solenoid and fittings too as well as the display for inside the car?you want to get yourself a proper closed-loop boost controller.
the "gismo" brand seems to make some nice devices.

certainly a bit more expensive than the open loop items (blitz make a popular one, but its only open loop)
