FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"It’s very hard to pick a favorite. But if I have to pick, it’d probably be the bigger turbo. It’s the heart of this car and obviously it really livened up the power and made it a lot more fun to drive! And the installation was a lot fun since at the same time I pulled the motor apart to make sure it would be up to the extra boost. Also replaced all of the exhaust and some other parts while upgrading the turbo."
