JCW What engine Mod to Do next
What engine Mod to Do next
Hello all,
I have recently purchased the following modification and I was curious to see what would be the next best modification to do.
ALTA BOV Stiffy Spring
ALTA Turbo Inlet
ALTA Intake
Invisilens odometer and tach
M7 Aerogel Heat shield for turbo
BSH Turbo boost tap
BSH OCC
Looking at future mods
Forge FMIC
FORGE intercooler piping all new
ALTA Access Port tuner / other tuner or flashing device
Possible Exhaust
Sway bars
Short shifter
Any suggestions?
What has worked best?

* FMIC = yes; as the OEM unit can heat soak quickly
* FORGE intercooler piping all new = not needed; the OEM boost piping is properly sized and reinforced; aftermarket pipes are more for removing excess "noise" tubes like the 'muffler' and 'noise maker'...
* ALTA Access Port tuner / other tuner or flashing device = yes; one of the best bang-for-buck modifications for the powertrain
* Possible Exhaust = owner choice; only a downpipe (mated with ECU programming) will yield increased performance, other than such it's just noise...
* Sway bars = depending on what type of driving set-up you prefer will dictate what size / application you want; typically rear is the only modified unit
* Short shifter = again, driver preference based on feel, and response

NM torque arm bushing, no brainer do it, and it's cheap.
Hsport sway bar, again big bang for buck
YES Forge FMIC def needed in the heat of FL.
