downpipe, and then A short shifter made by a company not homemade.
David _K: Did the homemade version get rid of the slop, or just shorten throws? It seems like it wont get rid of the slop it would just make it shorter.

well it saves 225 dollars and it did reduce slop. you waant him to buy a downpipe and then buy a short shifter. well why not have a short shifter while he has his downpipe instead of waiting for funds to come in? plus he can always buy one if he doesnt like it

I do, but i dont think your interested in the effect on my car. I know people that have downpipes and the make the turbo spool faster.

I bought a DP from techtonics tuning and had all the restrictions removed, 2.5", the one where it doesn't downsize to conect to my milltek catback. Since im FWD they had to make it casue they were out for a little while. So they got it and sent clamps and everything to bolt right on to my milltek catback. It should be here Dec. 7th, ill let you know how it feels, compared to the stock DP.
