ok so I am ready to mod the R, this is what I have planned---> for sure<p>Ported kkk<br>BSR tuning software<br>Evolve DP<br>Custom Exhaust 3 inch<p>These are things for the future<br>Clutch (what is a good one for these cars?)<br>N20 (how big of a jet can it handle? Dry or wet?)<br>FMIC (as soon as one is released)<p><br>What are some fuel options? Injectors? pumps? etc.... Also can the tranny handle 400+whp? Do I need different software for a ported turbo?<p>thanks<br>Mirza<br>

Umm, I just had a new ACL constructed from two of my hamstring tendons, does that qualify me as a modded guy? <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/biggrin.gif" BORDER="0"> <p><TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD><i>Quote, originally posted by <b>MirzS60R</b> »</i></TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">ok so I am ready to mod the R, this is what I have planned---> for sure<p>Custom Exhaust 3 inch<p></TD></TR></TABLE><p>Just so happens that I'm selling one of only two custom double resonator + magnaflow Svenske full 3" ceramic coated exhausts in existence at half the cost of new...will bolt right up to Evolve DP.
