Gotcha. I think, again this spring, I'll do the front clip and replace the rubber spoiler thing that I have now determined as unfixable.

So it's been a week since I installed my DSC, and here are my initial thoughts:

1). Car is now much less "floaty", much less "bouncy" - especially the front end. In stock form, when going over a bad bump while in a turn, the suspension would "twitch", almost like the beginnings of a tankslapper, for those of you that also ride bikes can understand.

2). The suspension is still firm - in sport chassis - but better damped - as though the spring rate is being adjusted faster in response to bad patches of road. Pretty impressive, considering that the DSC is primarily a software upgrade.

I still want to see what the GT3 Tour calibration file is like, but I'll hold off on that for a while until I can really get used to the current calibration.

Overall, would highly recommend - especially for the price.

Put the Zunsports on my Turbo as well.... No more blue-whale-sucking-krill-syndrome.

Just the center grille for me. $108 shipped, arrived from the UK in three days.

Before: Good for gulping down cool air. Also good for gulping down road debris...



MUCH better!

The gaping center opening is what bothered me... Might add the sides at some point, but they neither collect the trash of the front opening nor have the 'something is missing' look to them.

Yes, I hear you - I'm just irritated that it took me almost four months to get them in...

You'll be equally irritated you waited X months to get the DSC Sport controller!

Top mod for the those that push their Turbos in more than straight lines.

After this year's 2000km mountain run, I have told myself that I WILL do it again at the end of August/September 2021 before the weather sets in.

I was also impressed with Beezpura's (hope I got that right) run with stock cats and the Soul x pipe with the factory tips. Loved the sound, not too over bearing.

So that, and the suspension computer will be forthcoming.

I’m looking for ways to replace that altogether

I’m going to put an under tray to cover that gap then some under car stuff to increase aero that has less drag
