Pullies Headers and Chip boost?

Hey guys so im having my suspension changed this week, i ordered the fsd kit with eibach, so first off i want to thank everyone who helped me in that decision.

WEll, while researching all that i decided i want some more performance upgrades. I found that some of you guys might have changed your headers and pullies from evosport and have seen good power gains. Also that adding a powerchip or sprintbooster will also give good boosts. Can one of you guys verify this for me? Any idea on how well the boosts are?

Thanks

Evosport makes an under drive pulley kit for the 320, but not headers. You will definitely feel the power gains from the pulley kit and I think it's somewhere around $375.

You can also combine that with a tune from whichever company you prefer and it works well in combo with the pulley kit. The sprint booster will not add power, it just makes the throttle more sensitive.

I have all 3 and haven't had any problems. Although I don't know if I would have bought the pulley kit or the sprint booster if I didn't get a deal on them.

I'm excited for ya!
Let us know how it looks/performs.

As for performance I think without forced induction the main route is intake/exhaust/remap for the most effective power:$$$ ratio.

I'm sure there's a youtube of the dyno'd gains somewhere...

That Guy was a member here and he posted a thread listing the mods. Nothing special. I wouldn't go with powerchip, someone like speedtuning or Eurocharged is cheaper.

Agree. Ive heard bad things about Powerchip USA & I've had issues with Powerchip France so I would suggest Eurocharged.

Wow, talk about consistency eh? If they are buying and using the same tune from the same source then I guess the results are going to be pretty much the same across the board.

Hey ya so i just got the shocks and springs done along with my brakes. Maybe ill post some pics for comparison in the original thread. As for the pulley, i was trying to look around to get it cheaper, and i ended up emailing evosport to see if they can give me a better deal and they were actually kind enough to give it for a hundred less (so far i like this company). So i guess ill get to installing that in the next week or so. I also found a local body shop thats going to give me a brabus rear bumper for a hundred bucks, so i think that and the exhaust system is going to be my next step. I figure since i got a better bumper, the exhaust has to match it!
