so...

Jeez I'm gonna get slammed, but what's the best (streetability wise) upgrade and does anyone know if Cobb has a reflash for it?

also...I'd like to keep the stock IC (mainly cause upgrades are so expensive) so need something that fits in this range or maybe I'll try the alcohol injection route...

and why the heck is my sig not showing?!?

Cobb reflash itself is probably the best "streetability wise" upgrade. 30+ more hp (so they claim) with nothing that The Man can harass you for and nothing that cause immediate problems.

I would recommend the Vishnu stage 0 for streetability. Hundreds of people have gained ~40 wheel horsepower with just an ECU reflash, uppipe, and pulley. The 321 uppipe is almost impossible to spot without putting the car on a lift, you can pass emissions testing (if that's a concern in Kansas) and the everyday driveability actually improves over stock. Stage 0 is $1095 shipped. Alcohol injection is not something to worry about until you are trying a stage III on for size.

Sigs are disabled on the forums to reduce bandwidth usage and keep the site running well. It also keeps things from getting too cluttered up to read, unlike 99% of other car-related chat boards out there.

Ban,

Thanks man...I should have been a little more specific. I'm thinking of going with a bigger turbo. I've already got the Helix Up/Downpipe combo, Cobb stage 2 reflash, samco IC hoses and a GReddy Hyper catback. The reflash question was in reference to a turbo and injectors. Not sure if they have one available for different turbos or not, but since it's only $20 for a reflash....

Also, thanks for the answer on the sig...it was drivin me crazy.
