 Show Junior Member Thread Starter Join Date: May 2010 Posts: 3 Hey guys, Thanks everyone Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Des Peres, Mo Posts: 5,868 ok, first off.... start with the newbie guide but i would make sure the maintenance is up to date, if that is then i would do tune/boost gauge and dv combo... next wheels and suspension, then work your way to the big power... but like i said read the newbie guide, it will tell you where to start and all that fun stuff Junior Member Thread Starter Join Date: May 2010 Posts: 3 Maintenance is up to date. I bought the car from a friend of mine who is a mechanic. Turbo has been replaced, new clutch, new manifolds, new plugs, all fluids are new, new brake lines/pads/rotors... etc. And yes I've read the newbie stickies however things are not listed by any price and are just kinda spread out. I know what I SHOULD do, but where should I start. Just a list of maybe 4-6 things that I can do easily for a quick horsepower boost and nice looks for under $500. Thanks

Thanks wtf did he change the turbo and manifolds and not upgrade them? but anyways: dv look in the classifieds, i just sold one for like 75 bucks and tune, i sold my apr for 300ish... all that is less than 500 but if you go to a dealer, you will pay 500 for just the tune Join Date: May 2007 Location: Seattle, WA Posts: 276 IMO Do your first 3 upgrades in this order: 1) Chip/DV 2)18" Audi style rims 3) Coilovers. The fourth thing to do would be your exhaust because it allows you to get more out of the chip. You can also paint your lowers at any time to match the rest of the car for a cheap mod that makes these cars look so much better.

I'll give it to you straight and show you what I've spent on my car, and I haven't even gotten to performance mods yet, and I'm a lil ticked at myself for that, but whatever. Hawks HPS pads Front Only (ECS Tuning) $117.88 $2113.87 I don't even have my tint in there, which was 130$. And my rims and tires haven't been mounted yet, I just got them. So you see where this is going. You may want to seriously create a spread sheet and then think about what you want to really really really do. It will help, or next thing you know, you blew 2K on headlights and rims. And you could of blown that towards a turbo. Last edited by mikekey; 05-20-2010 at 11:19 PM.

Hardwired iPod to glovebox new -$150 (crutchfield.com) If i had $500 spare and i could do it all over again.. and were buying new like i did, boost gauge and DV.. HIDs would be a poor choice with the pre facelift (pre 99.5) headlights even though its inexpensive.. short shifter is an excellent upgrade.. the shifter isnt as nice quality as B&M or JHM but it works great and for the money is wellll worth it..
