My mod list is in the OP of the build thread, but if you are asking me which are ABSOLUTELY necessary, Catch Can, Mounts if going 250+ WTQ, Fuel, Clutch, Gauges, Boost Controller.

Be honest about your driving habits and then maybe brake pads, lines, fluid ( no need for BBK unless yo plan on tracking hard), suspension.

If you plan to track it hard, plan on hit it on the street at 90+ degrees with no mercy, oil and water cooling.

We are not the only two installs with this issue. It has happened quite a few times. Usually people are afraid to bash their purchases, but I get PM's with lots of questions and experiences.

Other people just decide to take care of it on their own, never even alerting the manufacturer.

Hmmm. That alone could be the issue you guys are seeing ~ a lowered set of mounts might make the difference in the overpipe contacting the cross member... All our setups only used the stock mounts.

I wish you would let me have my review and experience with my car and not try to justify in what ways it was my fault....

It happened with stock mounts and Perrin mounts....

electronic is best, if you want set boost with WG Spring don't need it.

So true! I had issues with my SC at first. cranked, then cut off immediately. then wouldn't stay running. turned out a hose had come lose. Scared the crap out of me, thought i'd ruined my car. Did the test drive, felt awesome, but I could feel some issues. Felt like it was bogging down some, so I did some logs, and sent them off to FA20club.
