Well I’m also looking for aftermarket seats. The stock one is throwing me everywhere. Heard about recaro seats, but what about other brands like sparco? If get one of them, is it necessary to get a pair of harness too?
350whp is amazing, but you know it is like drugs. You always wants more. So the reliability, can you be more specific about that?

 

With a bigger turbo, its easier to push the car into territory the internals were not meant to handle. Its a snownball type deal. You get the turbo, you want to safely push higher power levels, so you build your bottom end up, maybe cams and springs to help it breathe. All of this pushes it out further and further from the original proven factory engineering/specs... AND you are at the mercy of your shop. A lot of shotty shops out there. They take forever to do quoted work. Complete the work, but forget to do some small thing that causes a problem down the line, which means it has to go back to a shop.
My advice, do as much homework as you can reading other well known build threads, and try to avoid the problems they ran into.

Do you have access to e85? That's a pretty fun upgrade to hit before turbo.

 

Perfectly said, and good suggestion on the E85 - lot of bang for the buck on that mod alone
