(22 Oct 09) New Rims and Tires - 19 x 8.0 TSW Nagaros_225/35/19 Falken 452's.

(20 Jul 09) Lowered with Rotora cross drilled/slotted rotors.

 
 Updated with the Halo lights (6000K).

19" ADR RSL's.  I found out that the stock 18's are 7.0 wide and have a 52mm offset. The 19" ADR's are 7.5 wide and have a 42mm offset. I originally shoed them with 215/35/19, but upgraded to a 235 width. Regardless, the 19's (w/ tire) weigh 4 lbs less than the stock 18's w/ tire and in my opinion,  rims definitely make the ride. 
 

Prosport boost gauge (amber).

Prosport boost gauge (super white option).

New Rotora Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors and Short Ram CPE Intake.

Removed extra weight and cut the TMIC cover/scoop in order to keep the hood seal attached since it attaches to the front black scoops.

Torque dampner for the passenger side engine mount.

 MSD DashHawk installed.  Cut a hole in the dash for the back plug.  Sits nice and flush.  Going to get my MS3 tuned in Oct and need the DashHawk for all the ECU readings in order to utilize the CPE Standback system.

Added the Carbon Fiber spoiler extension.

Finally got the CP-E Standback Tuner and made the treck to FL to have Mark from StreetUnit tune my car.  This is definitely a must have if you've already added aftermarket parts cause the engine and turbo parameters are so limited in the stock configuration.  Once tuned, I now have the boost set to 23 psi (26 peak spikes), reduces the knocking which was happening between 4300-5500 rpm, and had the fuel cut adjusted during deceleration so I can vent the BOV to atmosphere again and not have to worry about the back firing and having it running to lean.  That's just the tip of the iceberg for the capability of the Tuner program.  Oh yeah...you can also analyze CEL codes and delete them.  Hopefully in Nov, I will be taking a trip up to Alexandria, MD (CP-E HQ) for one of their Dyno Days.  So, I can see what I'm puttin to the wheels and have them adjust the Tuner to optimize max HP and Torque.
