yeh i heard that too and that was the next investment i was gonna, well, invest in so idk about it anymore. but yeah im trying to stay away from supercharger and turbo because i lack money haha but i did just order my weapon r intake and im really excited for it. eventually ill get a borla rear section. and possibly some headers, the weapon r ones look good, but i dont wanna sacrifice gas mileage too much

Hold the phone. Did someone on here say they didnt want to sacrifice gas mileage, but they had turbo on their shopping list? HAHA!! good joke.
