new MS3, what mods?

[Jasonstiller]

Hi guys, just picked up a cosmic blue MS3 this week and am loving every minute of it. Just wish it was broke in already so i can really see what it can do Just a quick question. This is my 1st turbo car ever so im not up to speed on modifications but right now im looking at a turbo timer, blow off valve (i know im a squid but i love that sound!) and a CAI. what should i do in what order and what should i get? I have no clue where to look or what to get (uhm) Cmon guys, help an old guy out, ha ha

Thanks,

Jason

Welcome dude. Check out the CPE products and stre3t unit. They both have good stuff.

Forget about a turbo timer and a BOV. Waste of money.
Your money would be better spent on the XEDE computer upgrade and a new top mount intercooler.

Just installed my CAI last week. I suggest that be the first thing u get, you'l love the sound

agree with the CAI, and if you install it soon enough your significant other won't tell the difference!

our car drive like poop. and a turbo timer is a waste of time. better off learning some discipline and drive the car nice the last minute of driving before you shut it off.

MS CAI -- great bang for the buck and no warranty issues to worry about. Solid choice.

Yea ive been reading more about the turbo timers and figured if i drive nice w/ low RMP shifts the last few miles i shoud be fine. Ive got a bud w/ an STI and he said "well you never REALLY know how long you need to let it cool down so it would be a good saftey to have one, especially since they are cheap" All in all though, i canhonestly say that im really happy with the car the way it is now. This is probably the best car ive ever had and is a great 4 wheel version of my sportbike
