-Stage Zero get your car up and running with proper maintainence and get it running like it should from factory. Get a real boost gauge as well.
- Intake (IPD USA, EuroSportTuning (EST) or go custom) Or just put a K&N panel filter in the OEM box.
- Downpipe, 3" mandrel bent to a Hi-flow CAT.
- Catback system, 2.5"-3" mandrel bent with a free flowing straight through design muffler like BORLA or Magnaflow.
- ECU upgrade, (IPD USA, BSR PPC, RICA these are the best companies) (Upsolute, SpeedTuning USA, Inmotion these are smaller companies with less quality tunes and cost a lot less.) I'd stick with IPD USA, BSR PPC and or RICA cannot go wrong with them.
With these mods you will gain some nice power. Nothing crazy, but you wont feel slighted either. I also suggest you do these mods in order I have listed them. ECU especially last. As it will take into account all the other mods you have done.
