yah, i've already done a little bit of work to it... gutted cat, glasspack muffler (so essentially a free flowing exhaust), tuned boost controller so it holds 15psi (though i'm thinking about just forcing the wastegate shut, cuz she's held 25 without a problem in the past), aaaaand i think that's pretty much it for now... next mods are going to be the new intercooler, and a K&N filter

you can get the tdo5 16g or 20g to work on that as well, the diverter works well to.

I think it's funny how long the intake runners are. I had a bunch of saab piping on a fabbed turbo I put on Suzuki Swift GT back in the day. You need to do a heavy detail on that engine bay.
