Did my first round of small mods to my wifes S!
And I can say I really feel the difference. I added a BMS clutch stop with 2 washers,ALTA panel filter,ALTA bov spring and I deleted the intake muffler with a piece of 2" x 8" ebay intercooler piping.
I noticed before the mods I could turn off the TCS and put it in sport mode. From a low roll in first gear the car would not spin the tires. It does have Michelin Pilot sport A/S 3 on it. After the mods on the same stretch on road it spinning a good ways through 1st.
What I noticed after we got the car that at WOT shifting quickly there was a delay. From what I have read its waiting on the boost to come back. With the ALTA bov spring installed the delay is all but gone.
I think the next mod will be a intercooler or madness air diverter with sprayer. Haven't decided yet.
Then a JB+ box.. I kinda want to see what the other mods do first..
Later a catted downpipe and exhaust.

you will need the bigger intercooler in order to safely raise boost, the stock FMIC is dinky and barely gets the job done on a stock car
