Tons man.

You can make quite a bit of power before ever touching the turbo.

You can add exhaust, intake, intercooler piping, electronic boost controller, tune, testpipe, etc. You wont have to touch the stock turbo for awhile.

Yeah, don't jump right to the turbo - big waste if you don't do the rest first. You can do ported intake. You'll need upgraded fuel pump and bigger injectors if you up the turbo. Might as well put a ported manifold and better downpipe on while you have everything apart. Gets pricey very quickly.

There are several how to guides floating around. It's pretty easy, if nto time consuming. Fishing line, a heat gun, and some automotive goo gone makes it a simple mod.

lets not be snippy. I'm sure he is asking about HOW to debadge it.

I just used a hair dryer to warm up the glue and took some dental floss to it. I'm sure fishing line is worlds better as they probably won't snap if you apply pressure. but if you don't have any fishing lines, dental floss works.

hammer and chisel also works well.

Or just taking off the trunk, then you also get some awesome weight savings!

Just heat it up for a couple minutes and use the fishing line if it doesn't work keep heating it up. Don't worry you aren't going to like melt paint or anything.

yeah any cheap dryer is fine. just heat it until it's warm to the touch and start with the fishing line/floss.

How long you keep it is up to you. I mean she might get mad at you after a while but we can't predict that..
