first week review.
well i had the car a week and 2 days and im enjoying it. i have not drove it much just clean it and flew to the gym in it. forget get trying to get in and out of it after a leg day too painfull lol. going to split the intercooler system, do a plug change on it. when it cools down a bit im going to get a tune. want to run a nice nice 11second time. Heat is bad on any blower vehicle so i just baby it killing it will beat the plugs up. everyday i learn about another feature on this thing. will post up dyno numbers sincei have a dyno when it get cooler out.

Cooling is key. Get a new IC pump on it (if you haven't already) and an upgraded heat exchanger. Then turn up the boost

For mine I did the following mod order for cheapest to most expensive over the course of 2 years. Remember there's the cost of the part and then the labor associated with it.

K&N's > I/C Pump > EC Tune > 180MM Pulley > EC HE > Brakes > LTB Headers > Air Scoops (as I discovered them late)

All I need to do now is the injectors & loop as I probablly won't mess with the TB. (Although I could!)
