Its pointless on your baby turbo. I think it actually may hurt performance. ---

Dude I didn’t know your car could tow a trailer :rofl Funny how it looks in that pic. And no. Save your money or put it towards tuition/books for next semester. Or hell spend it on gas. I’ve completely put off modding my car until the summer months. School is #1 priority. Just my $0.02 ---

either keep the stock SMIC or buy a good sidemount upgrade… the FMIC is not gonna be of much benefit to you, and its especially pointless right before winter… a cheap FMIC might look cool but its cooling properties wont be as good as Black Forest Industries sidemount. ---

looking good already have the piping … im boosting about 17 steady with a 20 spike on a stock n75 . once i got a race j should be up a lil more. Stock is like 5-10lbs depending on turbo. plus it would look good with the lip kit thats on it … my opinion. ---

Stock is like 5-10lbs depending on turbo. plus it would look good with the lip kit thats on it … my opinion. your stock boost is .8bar for a 180hp model, and .6 for a 150hp… AWW and AWP have the same turbo, just lower boost pressure. ---
