    Rae, I know what the say about performance mods to the Justa and although they may not do much for the car, they do make the driver go faster. :cornut:

    1. You might as well get a decent header and cat back system to let the pulley and CAI breathe properly, that really allows you to get the most out of those mods.
    2. JCW injectors (i.e. 380s) would help ensure you are getting the proper fuel.
    3. A custom tune is awesome, but not always possible so a canned tune from a tuning expert is the next best thing, I believe some of the vendors here offer a canned tune.
    4. Search the classifieds in the various forums for slightly pre-owned stuff. Absolutely nothing wrong with used stuff in good condition.

    Bienvenue au MA !
