are you talking about a piggyback (JAm,emanage etc) or standalone (PFC,Motec)? and yeh it will make a hell of a difference as everything can be fine tuned according the mods youre your using

What boost you looking to run? If your using an EManage, you could sell the FPR and put the money towards other mods to run 1 bar of boost? That way, you can get it mapped in one go and it'll be easier/cheaper for you. All you'll need is a decent intercooler along the list of mods you have to run a bar, and 1 bar mapped on Emanage is good for 180hp.

Don't see the point in buying all those parts without getting and ecu be it piggyback or standalone, you'll never get the full potential out of them unless you get it set up properly.

No mate if you have an EManage you don't need the FPR or even a FCD. Some tuners may prefer a RRFPR but you'll be fine on the stock one mate. :)

Yeah sure mate, here's a quick list of what is recommended for 1 bar on the CT9, and it'll sure pull well at that boost. :)

FMIC
Aftermarket exhaust mani
Decat
Exhaust
Filter relocation
HKS Actuator
Ported wastegate to prevent boost creep

Good spark plugs and maybe aftermarket leads, and obviously a well maintained engine for best results. :)
