performance...
cat-back...depends on what sound, look you want...specialtyz.com is good
intake...jwt
ecu....ashspec
unorthodox racing pulley
headers...found cheap on ebay

grounding kit will help...not noticeably in performance, but within the electrical system

That happens to both of my parents. I'll hear the same stories from them over and over, or they keep asking me the same questions over and over. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone.

no, but if you upgrade your injectors, you have to upgrade your ecu.

With an N/A, you really won't see much of a benefit by upgrading you injectors until you're at 250-275 RWHP; which is about what a stock TT has. If/when you get there, then you could upgrade to stock TT injectors. Emo is right....you would need to upgrade your ECU then. There are a lot of mods out there that will give you more bang for your buck.

LOL I should know. I was gonna start putting cash onthis sucker but instead I'm doing a TT swap, hopefully 91TT will help me do the 60,000 service. when the motor get's here I'm thinking of doing it while the motor is still off the car. I told him I'd buy him lunch and all the beer he can drink.

It may take a bit more than beer and lunch to get me down there to help. I'll help as much as I can from here. You may have more luck getting Canyon Carver to help. He's a bit closer to you geographically.

I seem to remember something like this happening awhile back. I think Emo was trying to convince Rizz to come out to Cali to help him with his 60k service.

Did you end up doing that yourself, or did you not have a chance to do it before the wreck?
