After the windfall with the 308, I sorta figured you'd be dumping a whole bunch of it into the turbo...

Trust me. I want to!

Just trying to be smart. My other option I've thought about is buying another car (was less expensive) as a secondary toy / track toy. Maybe a C5 ZO6 or something like that.

If I do anything, it'll probably just be the IC's / Y-pipe / Plenum / hoses. Then do my plugs and air filter at the same time. Spend $4-5K and call it good.

A very reasonable, and restrained, approach...

For now.

Well look what I found. Seems my stock y-pipe failure isn't so uncommon.

Add a quality meth setup and an appropriate tune and now you're looking at a serious setup.

Picked up my car today. Ceramic coat, 20% Xpel ceramic tint all around, 70% windshield tint. GT3 RS sideskirts painted white to match. Stone guards replaced. Never seen it so shiny! Swirls all removed and the paint is ice smooth!

Eibach springs coming soon (can anyone plug me with a shop recco in the PHX area?). Wheels are HRE R101 LW. Frozen Polished Champaign. 20x9 +44, 20x12 +45. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S stock sizes. Carbonlution CF scoops and rear intake slats.
D@mn! I wondered whose car it was that AZ Auto was posting on their insta. Looks freaking fantastic dude. And I want to see those CF inlets in person before I make the plunge. Also, DM me when you are ready to get the springs on. I will tell you who worked on mine.

I discovered that in taking new ladies for rides, it is wise to advise them of the brutal acceleration characteristics of the car before matting the go pedal.

Several of us took a little cruise from Scottsdale up to Bagdad, AZ, an active mining town in NW AZ. Great roads (except for 8 miles behind a pilot car) and free range, with a large steer right on the side of the road!! Never a dull moment on the back roads in rural Arizona!!
