im getting the 16g turbo upgrade for my gsx i have all the basic parts(intake, exhaust, new boost gauge, new plug wires, new greddy blow off, new boost controler) Do i need to get a new FMIC before i get the 16g. Even if i run the turbo close to stock boost levels?

Stock FMIC is fine for 16g turbo. A FMIC will allow you to max out a 16g with manageable knock, but you dont NEED it to run. Just be sure to keep boost relatively low (~16 psi) unless you are datalogging. If you have a datalogger, or can borrow one, you can gradually raise boost until you knock, run out of fuel, or both.

You can run the SMIC with up to 16psi like stated before. If you're running on a hot day, be careful with raising the boost. The shitty stock smic will heat soak in a hurry if driven hard.
