free mods

There always seems to be free mods for a car (like pulling a certain fuse, changing some wiring.....). I've searched for the evos but haven't come across any. Do you guys know any?

2. Adjust the throttle cable for better response.

Good question, too bad everyone on here is a smart*ss.

Try searching for "DIY". (if the stupid search engine doesn't limit that too)

I know there is a restrictor in the clutch reservoir that can be removed for better response and stronger clamping.

Also I think some folks were removing a restrictor in the stock exhaust, but I replaced mine pretty quickly, so didn't study up much on that.

You can run a loop from the waste gate actuator to the turbo nipple to get rid of boost taper. You can crush your BOV for it to hold more psi. Run 15psi in your tires to get rid of unsprung weight. Take your air box out and go filterless. If I think of anymore, ill let you know.
