Search you *****!

In all seriousness, a boost gauge should be your first mod. Then you probably want an MBC and a 3" turbo back.

Congrats on the EB, its a BEAUTIFUL color.

i go to englishtown every once in a while. i would say for the first mod go with an intake. it changes the whole sound of the car, and good if you dont have alot of money to spend on bigger parts.

So WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Agree with the first post. Get a Boost Gauge(Defi looks like stock REALLY NICE) and get a MBC so you can run boost without tapering as much.

Thats a very subjective question. Its the best bang for your buck though. You can get all fancy and buy an APEXi AVC-R or something and have a ball tuning it and doing ****ty wiring and paying 400$ for a ****ing boost controller.

Or you can have an 80$ mod that does the same thing minus the headaches and fancy LCD. I regret ever doing an EBC.

Eh, people can live without a boost gauge, tons on here do. I'd say first mod be an exhaust. Free up that air and get some power with your first mod. Vivid racing got 13 extra hp to the wheels with the JIC catback.

Lots of people are also very stupid. It's a 100$ safeguard on your 30,000$ car.

Please tell me your joking. Why in the world would get an intake as your 1st mod? If all your after is the sound, go buy a 92 hatchback and search ebay for those tail pipe whistles that sound like BOVs. You'll have all the noise you want and save $28k.

Seriously though, like DCSilvrEvo and Tsurara have already said, boost gauge and MBC are the most logical choices for your 1st mods. Then either a TBE or start saving for a clutch.

C'mon guys, you know the first mod is always the Perrin Shorty Antenna. Should cost you less than $30, and installs in 0.863 minutes. I'd go with a surround tint after that. You probably want to get used to your car on stock performance first. That way you will be able to appreciate the increased performance later. Get the basics first, then worry about performance.

I can't say I totally disagree with the shorty antenna. Some people just have the mod bug, I know I do.
