Hello all, i am new to the forums here but have been snooping around for a few months now unregistered. I figured I've been y'alls threads enough i might as well join. I own a 2014 Cruze LT1 with the 1.4T, and am currently in the process of finally doing mods. I have a K&N Typhoon intake and pretty much everything else minus my front bumper cover and wheels is stock at the moment.

Plans for mods you may ask?
Garrett GT2554R turbo. (later down the line)
Dual Intercooler (going to put a FMIC from Mishimoto with custome piping, running in corraspondance with the stock intercooler)
Magnaflow exhaust system (still doing research, hoping to find one that doesnt sound too ricey.)

And thats just the mechanical. Eventually im going to.finish getting my Concept X kit on it (just need the side skirts and rear bumper cover) and then a window tint and finish match painting everything or getting it wrapped (probably going to wrap it).

Well, hope to see some of yall in the Greater North Salt Lake region.

Sorry for the double copies of the pictures

Have you thought about running nitrogen in your tires?

I am currently running nitrogen in my tires, kind of hard to see the blue topped caps. As far as the exhaust system is concerned i already have all the necessary components, just need to order thw rest of the system. The turbo upgrade is at least a year out to happen. All the work will be done by me so I will be saving myself some good money as far as man hours is concerned. By the time im done with all the mods plus tune I'll be looking at around 2.5k to 3k . i think i can manage that in a two year span.

I run 78% Nitrogen in my tires. The reality is that unless you can get your Nitrogen for free you're wasting your money. Boyles Law doesn't care what the gas is - pressure changes with temperature regardless. The only real benefit Nitrogen might provide is to reduce corrosion over time, but tires and TPMS sensor batteries wear out faster than regular air will corrode the wheel.
