upgrade opinion
« on: October 22 2016, 10:28:54 AM »
Trying to descide on next upgrade this winter. Which will give best performance gain, 3 inch DP, roller rockers, or larger intercooler... ...or something else, sig below show current equipment. The 3 things I listed are all currently stock.

Thanks for any wisdom!!

what are you trying to accomplish? Faster eighth/quarter time?

For my money it would be a bigger turbo but the larger intercooler might be good too. A lot of people like a nifty new down pipe.

Might be well spent on some sticky tires for the track. Or just some track visits to do some wot tuning.
