Suggestions on next upgrades?

Umm, 2.5" exhaust with THAT turbo? Is your name fuckinnutz by any chance?

Also, how can the stock bumper support be "all bent to hell??? It's reinforced fiberglass thats bolted solidly to the car!

Dont paint your stuff with POR 15 btw!!! There are better alternatives out there, that hold up better than this crap!

Here's a site for example, their paint is SUPERIOR to por 15:

Press the "+" on your keypad to view it larger btw, "-" to make it smaller again. (make sure num lock is on)
Also, RTEK seems like a hell of a bargain, especially to megasquirt which is really hardcore for a beginner to setup as far as I heard... (dont quote me, through, lol)

Why not just rent a car while performing major upgrades? I bet the better milage you will get with a rental car will outweigh the cost of running it in the first place!

That's what I'm curious about. The exducer is only 2.5" but I also know that if I go bigger (3" or so) that the pressure and temperature difference will lead to more boost (granted, given the boost solenoid is set to not activate the wastegate it won't be a bad thing)

Bumber re-inforcement (the part you're referencing) != Bumper Support bar.

Because I'll save more money by not driving it. The Rtek is only temporary until I am ready to step up to a full stand alone.
