- custom tune, ots maps are great but you will want to max out power. A quality custom tune will get you max power within safe limits.
- spark plugs gapped to .022 anywhere stage 2 or stage 2+, 0.20 for upgraded turbos
- if you have ethanol near by, e85 mixes make a big difference. Just started using it recently, e85 is a hell of a drug

Do you have a downpipe you would recommend? They seem to greatly range in price and I'm not sure what the difference is. |
I've been running vrsf catless for a while now as many others do on here. Cheap and built well, I recommend it |

Cool, that's the one I was looking at getting. Should I also order new plugs? |
At 1700 miles I really don't think you would need new plugs, you can always gap the stock plugs to the correct gap for stage 2. I believe the interval for changing plugs is around 20k but I will most likely change mine every 10-15k |

Thanks, now I am on the hunt for the best priced VRSF downpipe.
