Back from the Dyno
Well I decied to not add an MBC and prettymuch keep my only real power mod my exhaust, and now the tune. I still have a warranty with the mods I have an thought I'd keep it that way for another year. The car drives smoother, pulls harder, and feels even better as a daily driver. Not big numbers but I'm pretty happy since it's a conservative tune with near stock boost. Best of all I got almost 24mpg with about 7 dyno runs and the trip there an back with some city driving thrown in.

I'll also do some adjustable coilovers at some time in the next year, may even order them in a week or two for spring. I wouldn't say I'm thirsting for more power right now though, the car drives wonderfully and most of the hard edges have been removed since I ditched the HKS BoV the car came with and replaced it with a diverter valve.
You gonna track it or just building a street car?

I hear the weakest part of the car is the clutch. Any notion of swapping that out ? The block is basically bullet prrof, and bottom end parts aren't needed until you get way more stuff. 300 whp is fine for this car. Once you start going crazy then you can upgrade the turbo. A bit small depending on your application
