So im sittin around yesterday and realized "my TT needs something" hahaha.... im hoping im not the only person who does that but anyway,, im kinda in between two items. Id love to put on a front mount intercooler or performance exhaust.......i just want to knwo which one im gonna get the most "bang for my buck" from. OR, i can run down to autozone, buy some sweet racing sticker and get the stick on hood breather gillz lol which is quite popular here in virginia haha

an exhaust will make more power, the ic will allow you not to lose it do to heatsoak

Do you need to up grade ur IC if you do something to the exhaust or have it chipped..??? And what would you do first? Chip or exhaust

no, stock ICs are ok til you start boosting high/big turbo, however, the IC will help maintain power...

Tmoney - 15bhp can be seen with the right catback and id argue ~25-30bhp turboback

Well if your goin to upgrade ur IC, it would be to not lose power due to heatsoak. Now im chipped and dont have an upgraded IC, but i could use one because 20 mins of boost driving makes a huge decrease in hp. I dont thiink it really matters if you chip first or install exhaust, ur gonna get more from the exhaust if ur chipped, but i dont really see the harm in doing either one first
