New to the ST platform and turbos.
To make a long story short, I can’t do a tune for a good bit but everything else is allowed. Have intercooler,axle back exhaust, charge pipe and BOV, and diffy stiffy coming.

I know that the tune will help and is best to do but it’s not an option. Anything else to help enhance the driving experience.
Not gonna lower it, back and knee are bad as it is

Welcome to the forum. I would make one suggestion and that is cancel the diffy stiffy. There has been posts where they have failed. AWR,ID Speed or Steeda would be a much better option. Just my 2cents.

What do the back and knees have to do with lowering springs? Doesn't bother my back or knees! Also rear sway bar and subframe bushing support kit. Also, who exactly is in charge here?

The IC will help without a tune if you do a lot of long pulls. The diff brace really isn’t needed without a hot tune..which you say you won’t have. The exhaust will be nothing but a sound change…if that’s what you’re after then go for it but if you think it’ll add power, save your money. Same for the BOV…it’ll make some fun noises but zero performance benefit.

Thanks!!

that’s about right, the diff brace I’m still doing for peace of mind. I do want the sound from the exhaust and same from the BOV. It’s my first turbo vehicle and I wanna hear the psshhh

A tune will happen, just have to wait for about a year:-/
