The coolest mod I did was the boost controller.. My favorite mod was the S-AFC install.. the FIRST mod you really should do if you plan on making more power is install a boost gauge.

SAFC is the best mod so far.
MBC is right behind it.

I have a turbo timer, doing a boost gauge in about 2 weeks, then going to do Vishu Stage 0 with the downpipe, cat-back and computer. I will try to do a before and after dyno

Stereo... 1200 watts and a good head unit + real speakers and sub make for a much nicer ride.

But for seat of the pants and attention the full 3" exhaust was cool.

Then the boost guage/controller and SAFC.

Pretty much the order things went in.

guess i'm the only one that likes his wheels and suspension mods the most...

i also did a drop in filter which you never even realize...

exhuast will be going on next week, and i just did the VII tails...

next spring i'll do a DP, boost controller, gauge set-up...

also still looking for a CF front lip to match the rear wing... the front of the car sits too high... needs the illusion of sitting lower...
