My regret is not buying a package deal from burschur racing. My exhaust is to loud ( Espilier gt500), paid too much for boost gauge (Defi), an stupidly if I had any money at all I bought what ever I could afford ( Cusco under carriage braces). For all the money I spent just to make a half-*** car I could have had a full exhaust that is quiet, gauge and tune, and then nickel and dimed my car later. You live and learn.
Another regret is not waiting a couple months and buying a IX now I have to upgade the turbo, diverter valve, and add HIDs (already done and well worth it).

Body parts period.
Love C-West front end, but bumps suck and right now its cracked in half and all torn up.
Cheap install on a side skirt screwed me.
Rear bumper doesn't look right with my exhaust.
Luckily I still have stock skirts and rear, just feel like I wasted money if I put them back on.

installing cams, o2 housing and fmic with piping from ets , and tune... car was running perfect now its just idles like sh** and almost cuts off but no help from any1 not even the person who tuned me telling me its becuz my motors mounts i need 2 replace them with aftermarket... i dont think motor mount will solve my idleing at like 500rpms almost 2 cut off

Did you put an intake on? I went back to stock cams myself. I sold my buschur racing BF 272 cams. It just wasn't for me. Sure I lost a bit of power in mid and top but I'd rather have a streetable smooth driving car than one that thinks it's a v8.
It sounds like you have an aftermarket intake on your car and that's why it's cutting out. Also check the vacuum line on the back of the intake manifold. But definitely sounds like an intake to me.

You think it idles like **** now!?! Get some motormounts! That will make your whole car shake.

yeah i have an aem intake on there and i check all my hoses and vacuum line and nothing i just think i need a better tweak in the tune or the timing is off a lil
I dont regret getting it...but I regret letting a freind tune my AEM EMS. I should of done more research before I let him get ahold of. The EMS was sitting around for a month even before we installed it.
Is the stock cat on an VIII not going to back up too much with a 3" downpipe and catback?
