Now what?! Got the mod bug

CharlesC · 06-26-2008, 09:09 PM

So I got the mod bug, I got a downpipe, spt exhaust and intake and I just went stage 2 with the accessport. What now?

I was thinking a FMIC and a different turbo

? But if you guys would recommend otherwise please let me know. Does a FMIC need to be purchased if I get a different turbo?

Not all turbo upgrades *require* a front mount. You need to do some research. A turbo upgrade is rarely that simple.

Have you considered suspension? Swaybars? Springs? Coilovers? Wheels? Anything other that power modding?

I agree with boondock, look at some suspension mods. Fairly inexpensive and make a HUGE difference! Sways, shifter bushings, driveline bushings, etc.

If you want us to advise you of next mods, you have to tell us what you already have.

Soo my car has a Tein coilover with electronic adjuster for the stiffness. I have a invidia catless downpipe, SPT exhaust and intake, and I just went to accessport stage 2.
