Tires will always add in every aspect of acceleration too (acceleration, braking and turning).

they are also very safe cars too. Crash tested extremely well and have one hell of a b-pillar!!
That is exactly what I was thinking about doing, nothin to harsh and expensive, and that wide body kit looks good too, but the wing imo kills it idk

If the turbo does start to go, I'd say throw in a P&P stocker and you will love how quick it spools. With just a TBE, up, CAI and P&P TD-04 I have full boost at 2500 rpms, untuned. It's a great street turbo and the spool can't be beat.

Don't get a blow off valve. Get a short ram intake and u can hear the sound.

yes, I did forget springs and struts (trust me get the nicer struts with them) and down the road you can slap on a used vf39 or vf43 for a nice cheap performance upgrade for when the stock TD04's power gets old.

a short ram is just as bad on the cars performance as a bov... the stock intake keeps intake temps much lower. CAI if your going to do an intake.

K&N short ram intake works well with stock ecu. CAI's work worse.
