if you're gonna do IAT mods, start at the block, not the filter. phenolic spacers > throttle spacers. everyone (like any platform) can benefit, the throttle spacer? no one really buys those anymore.
UR pulley or spacers, pretty much same cost of mod and same install difficulty.

I'll be skipping the pulley. J-Pipe it is then.

yeah a pulley is like a lightweight flywheel. its a 'power simulator' as I call it, since 90% of the gains are in drivability and if you don't have a 6-speed, you won't experience it as much..
j/f/y-pipes are usually the best bang for your buck on every car, boosted or NA.
overall, great choice. just make sure you anti seize the shit out of it, and use new hardware. then you'll only have about a 1 hour change over before you go in for work on the car, to keep your warranty.

Not sure on the wheels, I'll give it another week and I'll call. The wait is killing me too, can't stand it dude.
And yeah, I asked my uncle about the pulley, he said he's skip it, not much of a mod really. TBS I had considered because it claimed a few HP and it kept the TB cooler than no spacer, but if it's not worth it as most of you say I'll save my money for the RV6 J-pipe.

^^^ Coolant bypass = TB waaayyyyy cooler !!!
the TBS does claim HP and I used it for over 4 years but in retrospect, i would have done pnp or pulley or even Intake before the TBS
dont get my wrong, i would get the TBS, but only after many other mods...

Yeah I'd rather have a CAI before that then. I don't really plan on making this a 10 sec. car so idc lol.
CAI, j-pipe and that's probably it. Maybe later down the road PCD or HFPC.

Seriously though, this car is quick enough and I'm 18, last thing I need is higher insurance.

is your car auto? then yeah, pulley is pretty worthless.
do the phenolic spacer. it keeps the whole intake system cooler by stopping the heat at the source. then you don't even need a TBS. and do the TBS coolant bypass. that helps summer timing and power SOOOOOOOOO much, especially in conjunction with the UCM mod.

Sean, my macro lens is incredibly temper mental. If you sway back and forth it will throw it out of focus. You almost have to have a tripod just so the camera doesn't move.
If you look at the close ups they have one area in focus and the rest is not.
