Congrats and welcome! Read-up on he 07's, they are a picky beast. basic rule of thumb: Any engine modification will require some sort of engine management.

The car had 4800 miles on it when i got it from a private party on ebay. The guy was located in corbin kentucy, and from what I can tell the car is pretty tight. I drove the car home to Orlando Fl. and had no problems, this is the like a sport bike with four wheels. Ive had the car two weeks and already purchased the AP for it. He (previous owner) had dealer installed SPT cat back and cold air intake. Other than that the car was stock. Im a big fan of modding as I have an obsession with ****ing with things, cant leave anything stock for long. Just got the Invidia catless DP today, I'm thinking of getting a base line Dyno pull just to see where I stand before installing it. I mapped it to stage 1 yestarday and it feels alittle smoother. It seems like Im hearing the turbo alot more than when it was stock, is this normal? I can tell this is going to be a great site for learning, as I don't know too much about turbos. Thanks for any imput. Im going to get her clean and figure out how to post some pics Later Jimmy

Conrats on your purchase, Yes you are hearing the turbo making more boost, especially through the aftermarket intake. The COBB AP allows the turbo to make alittle more boost and it makes it alot sooner than stock. David
