I absolutely would .. but there is NOTHING i can do to make this car any faster:

1) headers are welded to the engine block
2) already comes w/ a CAI from the factory
3) exhaust kits don't exist for it at this point -- and it's only gunna kill my low-end and offer a marginally better high-end

Then go with a Comptech SC. Take the cats out and make a custom full exhaust. U can get up to 300whp with these two things on the TL.

Turbo... The manifold design is just asking for one!!
This will be the simplest twin-turbo setup
