Default fiesta RST tuning help

hi everyone im hoping some of you good people can help me with a few matters, i had a deal fall through on a frst i was meant to be buying but have struck another deal on a nice little near standard engine wise example.

the car im buying is running some sort of hybrid turbo but will be in need of rebuild as the seals have gone, this is not a problem as it will be sent to wilky for some of his magic and hopefully a top spec hybrid

my questions are as follows

what fmic can i go for which will be good for around 18psi boost and wont require butchering the front of the car as i hate that look?

is it worth getting one of the airtec turbo coolers or are they just a gimmick?

also what cam will work best with a t25 hybrid iv seen the kent 31 and 34 camshafts and also a bayjoo special?

id imagine i need an uprated fuel pump and possibly spark plugs if so which ones are best to go for?

i have decided that the car will be going to msd for one of there stage 3 conversions once i have the fmic and cam in place

any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated

Think stage 1 as the stage 2 needs to be cut when you read it. This with the ally rad keeps her nice and cool. I also have the turbo cooler too.

Im running a bar, but on my updated T2 and management so different set up to you completely!
