That's a beauty - is it the intercooled kit? What kind of other mods did you make, like headers?

Thx sir, its a stage 2, Its actually Brian J, old kit he was running. 10,000 miles on it, I sent it too Jon Bond for inspection. They shipped it back no charge other than shipping. He said it was perfect inside no ware visible on inlet guide vanes on the rotors. He was telling me they are good for over 100,000 mile easy. Keep oil in compressor changed and regularly and topped off. I inspect the level every 7 days. Very satisfied. I'm running the 70 mm pulley. Delicious tune I believe Zach loaded me with the 9.5 sprintex version on the ecutek tune. I went on the D B W motorsports just outside the Atlanta, Ga area. Doug is a fantastic tuner. He actually owned a 2013 so he knows the platform quite well. I pulled of my UeL Tomei header ( I just cant deal with the uneven exhaust pulses. To loud for me. I'm old school made me think the damn thing had a miss (Ha). I bought a spare front header Cat. I made a sweet 2 into 1 collector. I checked with Kodename47 to copy his design. With his blessing I was off to my fabbing. I smoothed out all the welds on the no cat designs then had it ceramic coated. I liked using the stock heat shield as it keeps down the heat some what not much and its quieter.
From there I am running an Invidia over pipe into a Berk High flow secondary cat into my Invidia q 300. Smooth tuned crisp sound no droning and not obnoxiously loud. went back to stock airbox after following Kode47 ,s lead He has been very helpful with me putting this thing on with his advise all the way from UK. He is the one who actually recommended D B W tunning. Some outstanding people on this forum Very patient for us newbies. Thx so much Steve |

Ahh flex fuel won't be a tweak, it will be yet another kick in the ass, will probably add another 35-40 whp across the power band

sam they are The forgestar copies. xxr 535 standard silver powdercoat. 18 by 8.75 38 offset I believe or maybe its 35. I'm on Hotchkis springs with the adjustable Koni,s 255x 35 rears 235x 40,s on the front. No rubbing at all and doesn't beat you to death and jar your teeth out like most coilover set ups do. Ive been running Konis for 35 years tried Bilsteins on my 94 VRS-Corrado back in the day, but even the Bilsteins were a little stiff for me. They are great on a track. I bought the xxr,r from the ebay website. The amazing thing is they weight 18.1 lbs per wheel and 545.00 shipped was enough for me. They balanced out perfect. Like so many of the wheels including most Enkeis, they are just about all made in china or tiawan. hope that helps. Best regards Steve
