Default Pics of the new wheels, More pics page 2

I took it for a longer drive today with these wheels.
They are not bad at all, no vibration at high speeds.
Now im wanting to do some engine mods and don't know where to start. Most likely a MAF and a chip to start with.
Heres the pics, let me know what you guys think.

looks good. I think alot of cars those wheels dont look good cuz they seem to stick out too far, but those look good.

Custom chips and an increase in boost will be your first step. This will be a suprising increase in hp.

When you say an increase in boost, how would i get it to do that? Install a chip?
And how bad is it really for the engine to mod it? Can it damage anything or what would be the most fragile component on a modified 951?
The only thing im looking for is just a little bit more torque and the boost to be full around 2000-2300 rpm.

Michelle forgive me for being ignorant but, is that just a bigger turbo or one from a 951S?
If i get one of those, do i just plug and play or do i have to replace anything in the DME?
And how is the performance compared to a stock turbo?

See the little "T" logo? The turbo is made by turbonetics. Michelle has a 60-1 HiFi, if I remember correctly.


Antonioali, those wheels look GREAT. Especially with the tint. Beautiful car man.

It's a SFR stage 2. It's a T04 housing - not sure of the trim. You'll need a lot of support for it: A/F tuner, chips, etc. It moves a wee bit more air than the stock one did
