I think its good to have a car thats different from everyone else, stands out from the crowd. I'll read your thread when I get the time to lol. Christmas!!!
Thats a good gain considering that your car is still on stock tune. Have you tried running against your mate yet as a comparison between the two cars? Yeah I ve read on here about the downpipe being a limiting power issue on the MPS. I plan to change mine when the turbo blows or starts to smoke. Just not sure which brand to go for. I read that best bufflers make pretty mean ones.
Yeah I started doin some stuff to my car, for some reason I just cant keep a car stock

. Just want something conservative as I dont want to open the engine and want it to last.
So far, Ive cut a big hole in the air box and replaced the filter with K&N. Also put in a TIP. Intake and turbo whine is noticeable now and sounds the goods, but didnt notice much or any gains. Also put in a Turbosmart dual port BOV. I bought some defi gauges to put in, just waiting for the 3 center gauge holder to come through the mail. I did however bought the wrong control unit for my gauges, so I'll be selling that soon when I get the chance.
Mods to come:
DP and Turbo (when turbo gives up the ghost)
ECU of some sort, maybe standback pnp
Change muffler to straight through muffler.
Coil overs
FMIC
Rear engine mount.
Thats about as far as I want to go with mods. That should keep me happy for a while
