What do I do next?

[nomunic]

Hello gentlemen.

I’m clueless as to what I do next to my car. My sig pretty much has most of the stuff I did. If there’s nothing left to do after that, does someone wanna buy my car lmao.

Honestly though, would love some advice where to go next as I can’t stand not working on my car. Otherwise, I’ll just have to buy these forum magic gummies to cure my ED.

After reading your sig… trust me when I say this “everything else is a rabbit hole of just replacing a mod with another version of the same mod or having to do another mod cause you went to far with a different mod and now it’s needed

Hence my current search history “metal fender flare kits” to fit my new wheels that are to replace my current aftermarket wheel setup

Do you track at all? I would say use that car you've built and go kick some ass on the track. There's always room to improve your driving skills there, travel to different tracks, etc., and surely lots of track time will necessitate some wrenching as you replace consumables and wear out parts.

MPI + LPFP + fuel lines, then return your HPFP back to stock, then go BT, then get bigger fuel injectors, then get an even bigger fuel pump because the just recently upgraded fuel pump can't handle your BT now, then intake manifold, then upgrade your fuel lines again to bigger ones, then get bigger DP, then, well, you get the point.

MPI + LPFP

I second that. MPI + LPFP is about the only thing left besides cosmetic or suspension lol

If he’s limited to pump fuel, I doubt going mpi will do anything for him with test turbo outside of cleaner valves.

 

[StorableComa]

RS3 Pump kit would do it. RS3 Pump and MPI and your turbo and bottom end are pretty much the only limiting factor, unless you're pushing huge boost, then the head flow becomes a big deal around 550+HP

 

[swcrow]

none of the above.

Engine swap

 

[StorableComa]

RS3 pump and MPI can be done for about $1500 bucks depending on which kits you use. RS3 outflows the 535 from what I've seen tuning wise.

 

[gboticus]

VR swap it!

 

[JerseyDrew77]

none of the above.

Engine swap

LS swap, hell yeah!!!

 

[swcrow]

LS swap, hell yeah!!!

Cummins Diesel! Bring it on!

 

[gboticus]

LS swap, hell yeah!!!

How hilarious would a longitudinal engine swap look in these cars. Probably have to lengthen the front end a foot or so
