ard is on a distinguished road
I wanted to write "If you are serious about mods, find a real tuner (not an 'installer') and ENGINEER a total package: Intake, exhaust manifolds (drop the cats? new pipe), exhaust that captures the upgrade to the manifold, serious DME programming (change the throttle mapping to achieve the sprint booster effect), more efficient intercoolers, etc, etc..."

But I didnt, as my read was this is not a serious player ...I could be wrong, but to REALLY change performance takes time, skill and $$$

Skip bovs or diverters (IMO, a joke unless you go to way larger turbos and the current bypass is ineffective). These engines ARE moddable, but DIY bolt ons arent significant.



And I have zero doubt there are people singing the praises of BOVs on forums all over- as there are many people saying air filters give them dramatically more HP. In fact, is there ANY mod that people buy and say "Ah, yeah, that didnt really work".

Nope.

PS Sprintbooster may be a perfect product- makes people THINK the car is stronger but actually makes no real changes other that reducing gas mileage.
