Congrats on the purchase!...sounds like a fun car. To answer your question, it depends on how much power you're looking for. The F20C is very high strung as is so if your going to stay N/A, don't expect more than a 15-20% increase without spending lots of $$$. If your looking for a 50% increase or more, you defenitely want to go the F/I route since it is much more effective in providing bang for buck. Another thing to consider is the supporting mods you may want to invest in if you opt for F/I. The clutch, rear diff, and rear tires are all things worth replacing, although not as true for your car since it only weighs 900 kg. As far as specifics go, you'll probably need to become best friends with the almighty search function.

Hope this helps,

Matt
