You can tell by the noise the car makes. Does your car sound like a Honda or does it have the boxer rumble? (Kind if sounds like a motorcycle)

Probably stock headers then if it's little.

So, stock headers and an SPT turbo heatshield. I recommend you stick with the current intake and just find the heatshield for it. :tup:

What's the sticker on the TMIC? Mobile One...?

Leave the car alone and drive/enjoy it! :lol:

I'm assuming it's the type of oil used in the car by the previous owner. What does the full label state?

What do you mean fuel label? I just put t6 oil in it the other day

What does the full label state? Take another picture of the entire label.

I think my car has a slight boost leak, today on my way home from work it made a weird noise a few times and I looked up the sound of boost leak and that?s what it sounds like. Like a weird fluttering noise at the end of the gear in slightly higher rpm?s. It only made the noise a few times when I was in sixth getting into it on the freeway and in fourth getting into it on a street. Other than that my car still feels like it has good power what els could it be and should I take it to a tuner/mechanic to check it for me?

NEVER accelerate hard or go WOT in 6th gear!

How much are you boosting when you accelerate? Do you have a boost gauge or do you look at the Accessport?

I took it to a performance shop and they said everything was good to go.. the Intercooler was a little clogged he said but they cleaned it for me.. I don?t have a boost gauge but he said I?m pushing 17 right now with the tune I have right now. I don?t floor it I haven?t even maxed her out the fastest I got her was just under 120 then I let off but it did get there quick from 80

How was the TMIC clogged? With what? And at only 39,000 miles?!
