Performance mods

[milesmcewing]

Everybody is talking about the doo-dads in their car, How about everyone posted the PERFORMANCE mods in the cars they drive.
(would I be a goof for saying a MOMO shift knob is NOT a performance mod?)

[thorin33]

Not a whole bunch. Just an Upsolute chip and ADB rear sway bar.

[Smartiepants]

What about an OEM shift knob?

[Kor]

The knob counts if you can shift with it faster! Like my TT pedals, they improve my... uhh... pedal operation. So they are a performance mod too.

Alien,

How did you like the abd turbo inlet pipe? Did the turbo spool up a little quicker? Sound differences? Throttle response?

Like one of the articles said about the pipe. I think it took a couple of days for the computer to recognize the extra air for some reason. Initially, when I installed it, you could hear the turbo a bit more and it did spool a bit quicker, but didn't really notice too much gains in pull. A few days later, I got into the car and started driving and it felt a bit more responsive than normal. seemed to pull a bit harder too. Similar to the differences of driving on a cool night versus the warmer days. I don't think it's worth the money though after all said and done.
