if you have just fitted an FMIC you will need a remap, the ignition and timing will need to be altered to get it tuned to your engine properly.
Personally I would not add such a major mod to my car without planning to get it mapped straight away, and would not drive it on boost until it was mapped.

fitting a FMIC will cause the car to under fuel and thats not good... esp if you have a heavy right foot.
that coupled with the de cat means that the fuelling will be totally wrong now so a remap is essential!
dont rag it until you've had it mapped to avoid damage to the engine

ah right you didn't say that it sounded like you had it all plumbed in. In that case try and get a few other mods lined up, (fuel pump, injectors, turbo etc) get your fmic plumbed in and then get it remapped, that will put a massive grin on your face

you dont need the FMIC until you are running over 300bhp, if you plumb it in b4 hand all you'll do is increase turbo lag.
i also agree with gettin a few other mods on 1st to aim for over the 300 mark then remap!
