So, I'm not really into "adding" power to my car because I don't want to sacrifice reliability, but I would like to "uncover" any power that is already there that might be stifled by certain factory parts or tune that aren't up to the task.

I've been pouring over posts and it seems like I need to leave the stock intake, add a better down-pipe (catted or cat-less), add an exhaust, and flash a simple tune. Is that about it?

I'm curious about the Dinan turbo and intercooler, like if they are making the car better, or sacrificing reliability to add power.

What would you say the weakest link is in the chain to releasing the power the car should have come from the factory with? The tune?

Your thoughts?
