~ is it usual for the turbo to whistle - If the airbox has been modded you should be able to here the turbo
~should the steering feel a loose at times or there seems to be a lack of damping in riding over road surface - the steering wheel shouldn't have very much play
~ a short shifter has been installed, should it be more loose than the oem? and can the gear stick **** oem be put back on? - You should be able to put it back to stock
~ previous owner has made these changes that are visual;
changed the exhaust to stainless steel it says APR on the pipes. Anyone know if this add much hp. I gues it would if the air intake has been modified - If its full exhaust it should add a few maybe around 10 hp
the short shifter
air take has
how will I know if the computer chip has been changed - There might be a sticker on the chip, but there might no, the best thing to do would be to ask the previous owner
~ can the cd display the song/album? - not sure about in 04 but in 00... no
~ what about factory gps option can this be installed? - Yes, click me
