As far as FMIC goes, you usually have to get a slimmer fan because the most effective way to make it fit with minimal modifications is to make the IC thicker and maybe slightly larger if there's clearance. So that would be the easiest route and should increase your cooling 20-40%.
But honestly, if you're only boosting an extra 2-3 PSI, you don't need to modify the FMIC. An intake and exhaust is the most you need. Unless you are going with bigger turbos, then you would need a whole new setup including FMIC. From experience, I wouldn't do one part at a time.

When i did the Turbo in my integra I had to do the same thing. Custom piping larger IC. I did end up using the slim fans because my factory fan housing was just too big. I know u just got that new tune from Technique but Unless ur going all out motor-wise bigger Turbo 3" piping all the way back and Maybe a Meth kit ur stock IC should be fine. I know there was a site sponsor here selling IC's for the 5 series but I'm not sure if it was for the F10? I'LL check here.
