My car is almost paid off, so that means its time to start having fun with it.

Any big breakthrough's in the LUJ 1.4 technology that anybody knows of? Aftermarket turbo kits? Tunes, aftermarket modifications?

Thanks,

There are at least three aftermarket tunes - Trifecta, Vermont, and BNR. Currently the one people seem to be happiest with is the BNR tune.

Thanks. Tuning has been one of the things that I have been wanting to do that I have been delaying. I wanted to see how things panned out with the competition and people using it.

How about physical engine modification? Any major price drops on engine and turbo parts?

Not really. Price been the same for the new and used market. Every now and then you may get a Black Friday or a group buy and prices get really good.

BNR has an upgraded turbo that makes significantly more power in the top end (50hp), and a good amount of power in the mid range (20hp), and that's on top of an already tuned car, which already makes a peak 30-40hp and 60-70lb-ft more.

Note that you will need new valve springs.

That's not what I've been hearing.

Thanks. Upgraded turbo options is what I was most curious about also, that was one that I wasn't clear on if it was being offered at the beginning of the year.
