I bought the AEM short ram Intake.. Put it on and drove a few days then took it off. Felt like the car lost about 5-10% of its power. It did make a cool sucking sound but it definitely suk'd.

AEM CAI.

Still looking for an OEM intake to replace it...

Sounds cool when the turbo spools but I know it's leaning the engine out. (in this case larger isn't better)

POS version 1.0 AP.

Wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been shipped a junk AP that wouldn't take an upgrade.

Now I throw a wastegate code every time I go WOT for more than a second or two in 3-4-5. Went on a cruise yesterday and thew it twice before I had to live with no boost. My car was faster stock.

DIY black headlights. Actually, i just wish i waited for them to dry longer. I have a nice mark from when ipressed the pieces back together and the back of the housing hit the lens. Ill get some new ones one of these days.

Just for the record... 605, after lookin at your mods list, I feel that it is safe to assume you do not even have a torque converter in your car.

Nope, there is no torque converter on a manual tranny car. Only on automatics. You don't have to worry about it.

HKS SSQV BOV. It sounded nice at first...but as most have said, it got annoying and the exhaust pops didn't help either. I really think it was the biggest waste of $300 i have spent.

sylvania silverstar bulbs. great output, but they only lasted about 4 months.

the other thing i kind of wish i didn't do was tint. i have 5% all around (minus windshield). i wanted 20%, but the shop didn't have enough and gave me a discount on the 5%. i love it during the day and how it looks on the outside, but it makes night time driving a pain.

K&N Drop-in filter (big mistake for my car atleast). Not too much money wasted, but still 50 bucks I could have put towards a worthy upgrade.
