Default YAY tax refund money.... Now what should I spend it on.

Ok, here is the deal, I have about $800 to spend on my supercharged tC, And I was thinking of getting an emanage ultimate, dezod PNP harness, and the upgrade harness (to make it compatible with the emanage ultimate). But I am also open to ideas to help with performance. I want the best performance I can get but still maintain a stealth profile for my tC. Help me out guys!

Hey man, you mind filling me in on the EManage Ultimate upgrade for the PnP harness??, But honestly that sounds like a good idea to me.

Do you have a pulley on there yet? If not, I recommend picking up a 65mm supercharger pulley so you can be at 9.5psi

The problem with the Unichip is that you have to go to a UniChip tuner to get it tuned.. and for me, and maybe others, There are no UniChip tuners around... Thats why I am not going with the UniChip...

Unichip is a good idea too, if you can get around the hassle of the limited number of dealers that are authorized to tune them right now. That is something that will probably become less of a problem though as Unichip grows and becomes more popular in the future. You can get pre-tuned Unichip units from www.forcefedracing.com and the rumer is that they are working on higher boost levels as we speak! So get yourself an NST pulley and then go for some tuning
