I took the car up to ecs tuning yesterday, which i was amazed is only 20 minutes from me!! Great shop, Great people, and a overall a+ for the apr 93 program. I got up there at 4:30 and the car was done at 5. The mechanic gave me the heads up on some things, and some pointers for doing a clutch. All in all, a good experience.
About the program...I cant keep my foot out of it! Im amazed what thats done for the car. definately money well spent.
I have on order right now a 42dd dp and catless test pipe, and a forge splitter dv/bov(looked interesting, wanted to check it out) buuut cant afford a catback yet, so i cant get the sound im looking for. Im pushing miles and know im going to need a clutch soon, so Ill be ordering all the stuff to get that done as well. A?nyone have the ECS underdrive pulley kit or something similar? Wondering what people think of it, if its really worth it, etc.

Slooowly but surely im getting this car where i want it, probably only to sell it for a newer/lower mileage tt, but what fun would it be to sit on a car and do nothing?!

 

The pulleys arent really worth the money. You will rev a little easier, but no real hp gain.

 

I also have the APR 93 and that same bov/dv, its a good setup, my last mod will ALSO be the dp, just dont have the money for it... yet!

 

cool im in youngstown...not too far

 

Welcome to the Dark Side !

 

yeah, i feel i can blame the transition to the darkside on this forum. From the first time i started reading stories, ideas, and everything else, ive been wanting to do more, buy more... but im in no way complaining!

 

i have the ecs lightweight crank pulley and you can notice a difference forsure...not that much in gaining HP but like nate said engine revs easier which is always a goodthing lol

 

you can always just go for the ebay downpipe for the mk4

 

yeh i think thats what im going to do, then no more though, want this to be nicely modded but not too much!
