Thats about it. I was thinking of the flash. Since Vishnu is close it would be easy.
Ok you're in desperate need of assistance before you turn your car into a complete turd. First of all why do you have a dropin and an aem intake? that makes no sense. Sell that POS aem and keep the drop in. You made an ok choice on the DV but you could have purchased a IX DV for about half the cost which works just as well if not better, but whatever. If you really want the most for your $1100 I don't know why the hell you're even considering Shiv. Don't get me wrong he's a great tuner but he'll charge you $1000 bucks for a reflash and dyno time! definitely not the most for your money. Although I don't like endorsing Warrtalon and encouraging his egocentric behavior, his package from Buschur is a great deal and you get a lot of high quality parts which will put you around 300-310whp on a dynojet. If you don't get a complete package stick to the most important basic parts. TBE, fuel pump, o2 housing, LICP, and a good mail in flash (ttp,dynoflash) or eflash (Jestr) all of which can be had within your budget.

After you have these basic parts and are ready to up the ante I would suggest a set of cams and upgrading to a slightly bigger bolt on turbo (TME,IX,20G/LT) because your 04 turbo blows about as much air as a vaginal explosion of gas. This will run you between $1000-$2000 depending which turbo and cam options you go with BUT your car will be a street beast, especially if you add some race gas or alky injection. In addition it will be very stealthy for those socialist pigs who are after you, it will look completely stock and if you run a HFC you're golden. Happy modding.

cams + arp headstuds + install.

If you have a little wiggle room, throw an SMC alky kit on there as well before you get retuned for your cams. I just did this and picked up over 50whp.

Why is everyone telling him to change BOV, with his mods he doesn't need it yet.... His will work fine.
