Message SZ intercooler/piping package is on the 2023 wish list... maybe 2022 Christmas, but highly doubtful.

Aside from having good pads, I'm not planning (yet) on anything substantial for brakes/wheels. If I tracked the car, totally different story, but I'm not and I prefer to keep the OEM appearance.

Once dialed in where I want it (dyno tune), the clutch will be the weak point in the driveline. This is more of a 2023 planned item at this point - it depends how scheduling and other things go... On the plus side, I've only got about 7k miles on my clutch and I don't abuse it all that much. Of course, clamping force is clamping force, but it being in good shape still will help.

R888Rs will be the tire choice - probably a late 2022 item.

Nah, I just left the OEM-spec bulbs in... at least for now. I honestly don't use them all that often. If anything, I may ditch them for ducts when I do the intercoolers.

Current fuel pump, AFAIK, is the original OEM unit. I was looking to go with the Walbro 485, but it seems like that's a bit overkill and would prompt extra work for what I'm doing. I talked to Scott at length about this... and when the time comes for more flow, there's a plan for that.

I would program for boost by gear, but I'm not sure what else would be required, eletronically, to do that. I really haven't looked into it. No T/C, but like I said, these are items I haven't dug too deep into yet... more future things to maybe look into.

Yea, turbo upgrade is an eventual inevitability, but I'm years away from that, unless I happen to spot something in the classifieds that I can't pass up. Manis will be part of it, but they'll be AMS. I know MS manis are second-to-none, but they're out of my league. Props to all of y'all rockin' those!
