Default So What's Next...?

Okay so I have the turbo and I'm absolutly loving it and CAN'T be happier thanks to everyone. Now my question is....What next? What little things can be done to squeeze out more power, better times, etc. Something's are obvious like bigger turbos, slicks, and cams, but what about a little more subtle changes. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should look into getting next as an upgrade? I'm mostly looking for little things unknown to me not really swaps and hybrid turbos. Thanks!

Buy my block and build it up

Other than that, up the boost.

Well if you want better times, traction is always key. So maybe some decent suspension setup and traction bars with some slicks.

id focus on suspension, putting all the power to the ground is better then raising the boost

I actually have my stock rims back on with dedicated winters on the front and thought about selling my rims and find good streets to go on my 14s. This is what I found:

I have Eibach Sportlines if that really matters any.

Those are junk tires.Get some Falken Azenis they are great tires and cheap to.If I were you I would start saving money for LSD,traction bars etc.Power is useless if you have no traction.

I'd also have to say lsd, traction bars and a good set of tires. Then if you're feeling brave a nice electronic boost controller,

LSD sounds promising. Pricy though. I found other tires that were $12 cheaper and 500 AA A with 8.8 out of 10 dry traction rating. Those got a 9 out of 10.


Josh, your car doesn't even move homo.
