I'm just stage 1 right now on bm3 and boy did it wake up the car. Stock bosch plugs are fine until you go big turbo. Congrats and enjoy the new ride!

I live in Orlando. I went with the tune with the upgraded chargepipe and downpipe. Unfortunately the FMIC was wrong so I'll have to wait for a replacement. So far the car has a bit of a different personality. More angry. However, when pushing down on throttle, it sound like air being released from a balloon. Whiny like. I'll call the shop tomorrow and let them know but is that normal with a stock intake?

- Apex wheels. I know, everyone has them, but they are light, relatively cheap, and work.

On top of bringing in the FMIC, I do plan on upgrading the intake and BoV. Do I need a chargepipe to match with the BoV? I think I was having a hard time looking for compatible parts for that.
