No, I don't have any major plans for this year. Just a large WG spring and a retune.
A couple of really foggy days have motivated me to look into a rear foglight. My commute is about 40 minutes so this is a lot of opportunity for accidents in foggy conditions.

^ I've got a similar idea for my truck except its for reverse (my stocker tails blow while in reverse)...How are you gonna do yours, similar to Pls's sedan? Like actually in the bumper?

I'm going to do the rear fog in the inner tail light on the driver's side.
My turbo took a dump. She got sloppy and the fins started to hit the walls of the housing. It sounded almost like I spun a bearing but it wasn't the same.
I bought a new turbo. It's made by Precision, 5431 B cover, .48 A/R
This turbo is a little smaller than my original (old one was .63 A/R). We upped the boost a little and got it re-tune for the new turbo.
You can see that the peak is the same but I saw minor gains after 4500 rpms. Since the new turbo was clocked differently I had the downpipe done right.
I'm told that if I continue with 3" all the way back that I can see significant gains. Right now I only have 3" to the 'cat.' After that it's 2.25".
So, my future plans are:
-New injectors (mine are old and I think they may be leaking)
-3" Exhaust

I haven't done much to the hoop-de for a while because I bought a house...
I bought an oil cooler which will hopefully keep the temps down on the 95+ degree days. Other than that I've been too busy fixing crap on the house.
