lower i/c pipe is crap unless your putting down greater hp than stock, or BIGGER turbo ofcourse. dont believe the hype. TBE, MBC, k&n cone filter and tune. youll be happy.

All great suggestions. I have a place to do work (no lift), have tools and definitely have willpower. Never modded AWD but am damn sure all about starting. I just got my Turbo XS TBE w/race pipe like ten minutes ago!! PSYKKED!!! I was told I cant install it and the down pipe w/o MBC. Is that true? Also what is EBC worth the money, and if so on that, which?

Thanks again peoples for your help- Much appreciated

Also. Im pretty stuck on the best intake to get too. Cant afford ARC.... Someone was telling me about EBT or EGT intake, I cant find them anywhere. Anyone heard of these or can source them?

I think you can install the exhaust with out MBC. I did

I like MBC more, cheaper, easier to install, not electronic. Ask whomever is going to tune your car what they perfer
