    BOV adjustement

    do some seaching around the forums for about a bazillion similar threads. Some good info can be found! But as for the harder softer deal. Harder if its stalling at idle, Softer if its surging. at least thats the general rule of thumb. So in your case, try softening it up a bit!

    MBC

    So long as you have supporting mods for higher boost you should be ok but if you just have a completely stock car, upping the boost can be harmful :D exhaust, Downpipe, BOV are all good ideas

    New wheels! Pics...alot...

    Lol, no, the grater is not mine. Just happened to be sitting at my church...So I thought it made for a cool background. as for the wheels and the offset, i agree...they could come out a bit. But, due to the car sitting so low in the rear, I would have bad rubbing issues

    If I had the money for an Apexi SAFC Neo...on an NA

    maft-pro would be a better choice for performance/tuning in the piggyback world. specially if your going na-t Nothing wrong with the NEO, just the maft has ALOT more tuning capability
