An exhaust would be in the cards somewhere in the future, eventhough I havent even ordered my car yet, that gets done tomorrow
Some fat exhaust tip will be a must have aswell. I want garden pot diameter tips!!

LOL. Great enthusiasm.
Turbocharged vehicles are the ones that stand to benefit most from ECU tunes ("chips"). Fundamentally, the boost is "turned up", for more power. I believe that they (Juice Box, anyway), tricks the car into thinking it is running at higher altitude, and thus the boost gets turned up by the ECU. Normally aspirated engines don't have this luxury, and as such, the tuner has only to play around with fuel:air ratios, valve timing, etc., often for less gain in horsepower.
90-100 HP from a vehicle that already has 555 turbocharged HP is not THAT much of an increase. With the BMW 335i N54 engine (base HP - 300), they are getting 450hp+, with massive torque
But really - let's be honest. You need that
