Logical Mod Order

BigJack75 · 12-20-2018, 06:59 PM

I'm sure this has been posted before but I could not find it.

What do you think is the best order for mods? I like a mix of appearance and performance. I'm thinking make sure all weak points are removed before adding power. I am thinking of the following. Anybody have input?

Aftermarket Charge pipe
Larger intercooler

Tune
High Flow Cat

Add suspension to that list and possibly better tires.

JB4, Boot mod 3, exhaust, then cosmetic upgrades.

Tires are on my list but more of a necessity than performance improvement in my mind. I am going with a high-performance summer. I have m-sport suspension and do not want to lower it. Exhaust is mostly for improving sound which the catted downpipe should handle. At least no one has suggested a cai!!!!

Bilstein B6 damper upgrade - performance enhancement for use with stock springs, and a quality tune..boot mod 3 flash over JB4

Suspension and tires. Aesthetic parts. Exhaust. Speed items last.

+1 Agreed. Suspension is the one component the driver spends the most time with.

rackjuediger · 12-23-2018, 08:36 PM

I recommend doing this in order
Aluminum chargepipe
Bigger/denser intercooler
Tune (Im selling my jb4 stage 2 btw)
Down pipe
Intake if you wish

Korvo · 12-23-2018, 09:41 PM

Chargepipe
Intercooler
Bootmod3 flash tune
Downpipe
Exhaust
Suspension
Cosmetic Mods

The m-sport suspension sucks.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I didn't think bootmod3 was available for B58 as yet?

Whats your goal for mods..to look fast, to go fast in a straight line or to actually have a fast car (with capable driver) ?

To look cool and go fast!!! Fast and Furious Baby!!!

Tires are getting replaced soon. Ditching the run flats and going high performance summer.

jmack · 02-02-2019, 08:43 PM

Charge pipe + catless DP + Stage 2 tune will give you most "go fast" for buck out of the gate. Follow up with supporting mods: FMIC, suspension, exhaust, etc.
