Re: First mod for stock vr4?

before you do anything, you need a boost gauge.
not a must, be a good thing to get a turbo timer
make sure you car is running good. tune up, timing belt and water pump.

afte that, i'd say the first mods should be letting the car breath better

K&N intake and a exhaust system, and or custom exhaust...gut the cats.

oh yea, and free boost mod

Re: First mod for stock vr4?

before you turn up the boost, get a DATALOGGER.

what year is your car?

Re: First mod for stock vr4?

tis true, no free boost mod for you! So, go with filter, precats, DOWNPIPE, light crank pulley.. first go get all the electric goodies that those guys were talking about, that way you can learn about your car before destroying it
