dont need FMIC unless you have an upgraded turbo. I would go with a bigger TMIC if anything.

I've never really liked mbc's cuz you can't change boost from gear to gear like some sort of an electronic control...

meh, I would just go with an accessport, until you get into big mods (huge turbo, injectors, etc.) you don't really need anything else.

That and a 3port boost solenoid if you wanna make some big numbers.

With meth running 19-20psi you definitely should be at 350awhp or more depending if you want a real aggresive tune.
