    Ya! Takes less effort to create boost compared to the gen3. Thus you run bigger pulleys.

    Awesome. So should i be worried about kr with this car? I think its the stock pully. but its probbably the stock pully for the gen5 s/c. wich i have no idea how big it is.

    Has anyone hooked up a small kr light inside the car? I have abunch of leds and all the stuff to do it. im gonna do this and maybe write up a how to if no one has.

    Seeing that there are no exhaust mods for this car, then id def. scan it for KR.

    Im betting it has knock.

    How much boost are you seeing? Thats should give you a est. of what size it is.

    The manifolds are ported but thats it. i definitely need to do at least a dp and get rid of the u bend. Not sure im picking it up later this week. I havent drove it yet. Im guessing its stock size on a 07.
