Can't really expect too much from the above mentioned mods. I recently installed a Fujita CAI and didn't really notice much, except for a more aggressive intake note. Nothing like the gain I felt from installing a Turbo-back exhaust and a custom mapped ECU flash on my WRX. Now that was a noticeable gain. Then again the TL is a 3500+ pound luxury sedan, and really wasn't meant to be a performance car per se. You can always go F/I with a Comptech blower, but then you're faced with traction issues etc.

yeah, how is the stock vs. now? Big difference? All those mods would seem to add up.

there we go!

if you somehow find a tuner for it....dips on first copy of the map!


btw, after all your mods, if you have some time goto the dealer, and "test drive" another TL....it feels way different
