Who sells stuff for these cars? Is there a standalone/tuning solution? Can you rewire e-manage, SAFC, or is AEM a good option? How do these handle boost? Any sites I should check out? ---

there is no tuning out for the 2.4 ecotech?! a couple of places are currently workin on some stuff…only a few select people have boosted the 2.4 ecotech, le5, and they are running 6-8 psi…now if your talkin the ld9 2.4, nonecotech, then that can run 10-12 psi intercooled and you can run a full emange. ---

yeaaaah. I know, but its in the air about the turbo sky, and I’d rather get the car soon. I need a car, and my a4 is real close to being done. plus, I get real good deals on GM cars. I’m not gonna wait. ill check for the sky forums when I get back. the ones I saw were dead. they drive really nice, it just needs a lil power. 🙂 thanks!
