I have a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket, and I was wondering about the value of these two accessories:

-BOV Spring Upgrade
-Panel Filter Drop-In - I've been meaning to get a new air filter anyways, and I wouldn't mind a little extra turbo noise.

Anyone tried either of these? I don't have much more to spend than that. If you can think of something with more value for $70-80, I'm all ears.

 

I have a K&N drop in filter, I think I paid $40ish for it. Any power gain is questionable but I noticed more turbo noise. From what I've researched, the OEM intake set-up is pretty good. I think it's worth the $, you'll never need to buy a new one again, just the filter cleaning kit.

 

Rear motor mount insert is a great bang for buck mod

 

bms clutch stop

NM torque inserts.

Second the BMS clutch stop. I also have the alta spring. Good cheap mod

 

Triple the Clutch Stop. And Second the Inserts. Totally changes the vehicles feel. All for the better.

 

Can't say enough about the Clutch stop! Just installed two days ago, great bang for buck
Insert next!

 

Thanks for the tips - I'm running an auto tranny, so clutch stop is N/A.

Looking into the NM inserts for sure.

 

Don't mean to derail this thread but what's the purpose of the clutch stop?

 

It limits how far you can push the clutch in so you can make faster shifts. Once you hit the point where the clutch disengages, you don't need to go any further.

 

It also removed the dead space in the clutch for every day to day driving. If you're at stop lights or signs, you have to push down a little les farther. It makes for a much better feeling clutch.

 

Sold! The clutch feel is my biggest gripe about this car.

 

I installed the clutch stop today, waaaaay better. Should have come from the factory like that, much easier to shift.

 

in case you want to not wait for shipping...
