My biggest "regret" of the swap is that I didn't go all the way with a EMS and an upgraded turbo. The 3sgte swap definitely gives you noticable performance gains that are nothing to sneeze at. However, I find myself wanting more....ahh, the addicting nature of power....

yeah i know what you mean.

but, the great thing is that you now have a great platform to start off with.

get some exhaust heat wrap and put it on the IC piping in your engine bay. that will make everything run better cause you pipes are not heatsoaking. then get a boost controller, a 3in down pipe and full exhaust, etc etc etc. remember, you dont have an NA car anymore. now there are tons of thing to do to make more power.
