1M FMIC - Group Buy?

I've had a few enquiries in the last few weeks on Evolve FMIC for 1Ms. This is a premium product made in the UK (same manufacturer also makes FMIC for koenigsegg) As you guys know, the shipping ain't cheap.



PS. 1M FMIC is not a stepped design.

I'm happy to try and arrange a Group Buy with Evolve if we can enough orders. List of interested
  1. Jeff (confirmed)
  2. Ian (unconfirmed)
  3. Marco (confirmed)
  4. available
  5. available

Pete installed mine, i cant speak for him (yet) but I'm sure he'd be happy to work something out.
I'll confirm $ early next week with evolve UK but aiming for good saving from RRP.

Would I be able to go to stage 2 or 3 on the tune with this or do I need dp's as well?
I'm interested, just haven't done any research into the gains compared with other brands/designs.

Depends on the type of tune.
With the Cobb, you need to have DP's to go to stage 2.
FMIC with Cobb allows you to run Stage1+ .

$2k would HAVE to make this absolutely the most expensive FMIC available for an N54 powered car would it not?

does the performance match up to the price?

Evolve recommend DPs for stage 2 or 3.

I've got this FMIC on my car and it performs well, - lighter than most others. I haven't any other brands on my car so hard for me to offer comparison, but those who've examined the evolve unit thought it a high quality build & finish.
