I may get yelled at or flamed for this but....

It seems if someone said hang a rubber chicken from the passenger side mirror you would do it. You really need to take your time and truly read up and learn what you are doing.

To answer your question, the **** to me is nothing but a homebrew MBC. A VERY large one for that matter. I would rather stick with more reputable companies such as Hallman, TurboXS, Blitz or others. To each their own.

The 4bar.....your current state with the mods listed why would you need it? The stocker should be fine.

Both of these items are useless to you until you get chipped. Once you do, I say go for it. Man you are gonna be scarey with a boost controller.....BOOOOOM.

The **** is a slightly bigger maf, the boostmachine is the mbc. Since it is a bigger maf, it makes the ecu think it needs more fuel.... see where im going with this? Not really the best tuning mod imho.

BTW, totally agree with the chicken comment LOL
