FAVORITE MODIFICATION

My current favourite mod on the car by far is the ATM Holey cowl cold air intake. It relocates the air filter to sit just outside the engine bay under the cowl where it can get much colder air the stock intake location. The filter also happens to sit directly in front of the a vent that brings air into the cabin of the car, meaning all those sweet, sweet turbo noises come straight into the cabin making it sound like there is a big turbo sitting right in the glove box."

FUTURE MODIFICATIONS

Bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, slight wide body kit
