Vortech or Innovate. Really worried about Innovate's lack of attention to the thread THEY CREATED but waiting to see performance info.

AVO turbo is possibly on the table as well because of the solid numbers and fast spool but really wanting to go S/C on this car.

TRD looks intriguing but probably VERY expensive and mediocre performance at best.

Awesome! Ideally I would like to install my own turbo kit but i'm not as confident in my skills. Though I plan on getting one maybe in 2 years so I should have more experience by then.

Hmm... I wonder if a 'mod meetup' is possible. A turbo would be quite involved but intakes/exhaust/sway bars aren't that bad.

Next up for me is probably the Nameless downpipe and headers (when they release it)

I hope the Innovate kit is done and making reliable power by the time I get my car, and put enough mileage on it that I'm ready to void the warranty lol. Otherwise it'll be Vortech.

I remember that feeling when I installed mine. It was freezing out, but I drove around with windows down and just listened

Random question but when mounting wheels how do you know when the lug studs are too short? When installing my winter rims I noticed the lug studs barely stuck out from the rim. I've had them on for awhile with no issues but its always been a lingering concern for me.

I read somewhere when looking for wheel spacers that for 12x1.25 sized studs you need about 8 full turns on the lugnut to torque down properly.
