i have an 01 180q did a ton of maintenance and had it apr chipped (local vendor) while it was there. Instead of digging through a thousand posts (which i did) what should i have done next?

After reading it sounds like i should get an mbc?

i put 225 exhaust on it so thats been upgraded.

mbc
cranked wastegate?
does diode do anything for me anymore?

i dont really have any set goals for the car but at the most i would want 300whp but i dont think ill ever get it to that, id probably sell the car before spending the amount of money to get to that point.

thnx for the guidance

 

Brakes and Suspension.

IMO, too much emphasis on horsepower, not enough on handling.

With the simple answer aside, a good suspension setup will be as much fun/more fun than dumping your money into go-fast bits.... unless you only like driving in a straight line, and I think that sucks.
