Bolt-ons, always bolt-ons. Upgrade what you got, first.

i would do a cold air intake, redo the intercooler and piping, cam gears/ pulley gears, ported intake, redo ignition systems, or upgrade turbo............

best power for you money, invest in a software

i have apr 93 file and i love it for how it pulls topend and for a daily driver

but giac is really aggressive but they are limited to what you can do with it
good luck

I have GIAC and I don''t mind it at all. Being I live at a higher elevation, you just can''t notice a whole lot of difference on things. At sea level where I had the chip put on and tuned, it was a huuuuge difference. Maybe I need to get my car tuned for Utah????
