Go for a 3" Downpipe, Cams, and a Dynoflash. All 3 make good power. Let the reflash take care of the boost level.

Thanks much!

Alot of people(not only on this board) have said to go with a MBC and my 1st thoughts were to go with an electronic boost controller just for better control. Is there a particular reason why people suggest a manual?...other than the fact that it's cheaper??

Was just curious on that.

The though here is why pay $300 for an EBC if a $60 MBC works just as well, and is easier to work with. This, of course, is covered in many threads, as are probably your next 50 questions. Search is your BFF.

lol! Yeah, I figured that, but I just thought there was more to it than that since I hear it often. Thanks though.

And yes, search is great, but I believe ppl ask the same questions over cause you have to go thru PAGES of info to find one answer. BUT, guess I'll try!

Your car is a thing of beauty to me too!

First thing you might want to do to your car though, is take it to a tuner and see if it has been flashed or not, an untuned intake may be hurting performance rather than helping. But in my opinion, I'd bet money, that it's been flashed already.

That's what I hear also. The car is spiking boost at 20psi and settling at 18psi, and that's not normal. Maybe it has been flashed...that would increase boost right? But once I get a couple more mods, I will get it flashed.

And thanks for the kind words....everyone else too!
