Schwiz’s B8.5 Build Thread

[schwiz23]

I've got a B8.5 with 56k miles on it that I've owned since last February. I love the car and it's fun to drive, but I have a natural inclination to mod it. Being that this isn't my daily driver, starting in fall after my motorcycle racing season is over, I plan to go stage 2.

The only thing I've done to the car is put in R8 coils.

My budget is $2,500 for everything: HFC, CC, tune, intercooler, etc. With that said, if you had 2.5k to spend on stage 2, what would you get? Spend my money down to the last cent! :)

Here's what I put together:

• ECS high flow cat and downpipe - $441
• IE stage 2 tune and powerlink - $649
• REV9 black intercooler - $350
• ECS baffled catch can kit - $412
• ECS turbo inlet hose - $60
• RS grille and license plate holder - $140

Total: $2,052

Anything I'm missing here? Anything you'd do differently based on personal experience? ...I'm not going to run a CAI, so don't add it to my list. :)
