So they make wheels to fit the ss/tc now? I thoguht SSR's were the only ones with the offset...
There are several wheels that fit the TC's now. The SSR's you have to use a spacer to fit, the msr's fit with no spacers and no issues.
You want back pressure on a turbo car, helps with spool... remember just because air gets to it fast and leaves faster doesn't mean it's a good, thing you want the slightest amount of "restriction" to help with spool time. Backpressure is the wrong word, but for most that is the one they know.
It's all a unit of restriction, and finding that fine line for spool, and flow is key!

so what about like 3" catted DP, no resonator, and like a borla muffler. Think that would be enough backpressure for that turbo.
And this is after the stage kit cuase i dont wanna go 3" anything untill then

To be honest... I would leave the catback alone... do a catless downpipe, intake, charge pipes, intercooler and call it done!
You still waiting for the stage kit....... Problem with that is you'll NEVER unlock the potential of the car with it! You'll be stuck around 280-290whp and 320-330wtq

But as far modding goes, i got the intake, charge piping and BOV is next. Got my buddies Dejon charge piping with greddy type RS BOV sitting in my room and hes waiting for me to install it this sunday for him. That is sexy and probobly the same setup i want, i was thinking about HKS BOV but after seeing that greddy RS it just seems so nice ad adjustable. I like that. But im thinking going CIA catted DP, no resonator, and i already cut my muffler off and i dont have the stock one, i might just leave the catback and just weld up a borla muffler so its not too loud and constantly gurgling when i downshift or coast to a stop sign. I always liked the sound of borla and no1 really has one so itll be cool
