Default For New England folks; SCDA track days at NHIS, Aug. 9 & 10, check it out.

<center><img src="http://people.brandeis.edu/~tsle/track.jpg"></center><p>The SCDA runs track days all over New England; This August 9 &amp; 10 they'll be at NHIS in Loudon NH using the "Roval" road course. I'll be there as usual, and I expect to see a really interesting mix of cars. If you're in the Eastern MA/Southern NH area, Loudon is very easy to get to. Have a look.

Default You decided yet if you're gonna go with a Stage 3 kit?

If so which one?

Default For pics, video and a writeup of my last SCDA outing, look here.

Here's a video of one lap of the road course at Loudon from my last track day: It's a 56megabyte MPEG.

Default The more I consider power upgrades, the more I think a semi-custom kit is the way to go (m).

Silence certainly proved that they can be very effective if well done, and the really good tuner kits are too expensive for me- APR, MTM, etc. Also, I'm still not entirely comfortable with running really high boost levels on a smallish turbo like a K04... So for the moment, I don't know, but I like the idea of a T-28 or a or disco potato (GT-28RS). For the moment, I'm enjoying trying to eke out as much power as possible without playing with the turbo or software. It's kind of a challenge, but I think once I install my testpipe I'll be in the neighborhood of 200bhp.

Mine was just under 300, and is relatively light- They start around 150, though.

Default The testpipe will help alot...

I just had a custom Thermal Exhaust put on, the 3" midpipe helped a bit too. FWD, so there was no production unit. Loving it. I'm gonna post about it later. Good luck with whatever route you go. I shot that Vid of Silence's car running the M3, the M driver was my bestfriend. He may get a supercharger now. LOL.

David at Eurocode and Revo did make a great file for big turbo's, I wish they had a kit to go with it. I'm going APR Stage 3, I know there's some GT28R and GT28RS kits coming soon, AWE has a couple coming out as well.
