[quote name='Fd3BOOST' date='Apr 25 2005, 11:10 AM']- PFC or some sort of way to increase the fuel is a good idea.
- Why are you planning on porting the wastegate? Is there a problem controlling boost? I suggest getting a boost gauge and quit believing everything you read on the internet. There should be no need to port the wastegate.
- Don't bother with coil overs unless you plan on road racing and actually tuning the suspension. It will handle worse if you just throw coil overs on there and dont dial them in. So long as the stock strust are not giving you a hard time you should be fine with just getting some lowering springs. H&R's are nice but whatever floats yoru boat.
- Do not put a mid pipe on the car unless you have upgraded your fuel delivery and have someone who can properly tune it for you. Other wise you'll be buying a reman motor in no time.
Car looks nice, enjoy.

Jio (amp) was the one who recommend me to port them so, I just listen to him since he knows like 3000X more then me. True about the coilovers , I will just order the H&R's , thanks for saving me like 1500 dollars.
I was put the midpipe last because of the fact that it will need tuning at that point. I will keep the stock cat on there for a while until im ready to actually take it a level above BPUs. Thanks for all the recommendations man.

I hear that, Im only saying he does not necesarily need to port it unless he starts having problems with over boosting. I ran straight exhaust and never had an issue with the stock wastegate. Jio is right in that there is a possibility that you might need to. My thought would just be to wait and see.

[quote name='PhoenixDownVII' date='Apr 25 2005, 10:40 AM']You're letting your car spike/creep?! I couldn't imagine letting that happen at ALL let alone soon as I notice it does....I'd be fixing it pronto.
Did you port your wastegate yet, or are you saying it spike's despite that...?
[/quote]
No, no wastegate porting yet. I'm really lazy. I have learned enough now to operate the throttle in a manner that controls the spikes. If I'm running 12PSI settings, I ease into the throttle and it's fine. It's when I slam is to WOT from vacum that it spikes. At the 10PSI setting, it seems respond just fine. I don't get any spike on transition, at any boost level, and the boost is rock solid once it's properly regulated. It's just the snap from cruise to WOT. Also the creep I see is only a pound or less, in 5th gear at 12PSI WOT.
