Main reason i joined this club is that despite all my superficial knowledge of current cars (crank hp, 0-60 all that nonsense), i knew very little of the actual engine and other internals, not to mention little outside of 2000 vehicles on, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway I was wondering what you guys think would be a good idea to mod my new car (09' Lancer Ralliart). It has the 4b11T engine and i honestly don't know what other information would help. I joined a Ralliart forum and read through it extensively but they drop a lot of money i don't have and wanted to hear what you guys had to say anyway, but from what i've read the most common things are:
ECU Flash/Tune: I'm almost definitely doing this, i just wanna make sure i add whatever beforehand
"Boost Pill"?: A little confused on this myself, it works as a boost regulator since the TCSST can't use a conventional one. I have no idea whether it requires a tune or sees differences on a stock car
Catback Exhaust (turboback, downpipe, midpipe): Expensive
Air Intake: Seems like a quick cheap mod, saw it for 150
New Front Mount: Expensive as heck
I'm sure im forgetting something but thats all i can think of for now. Also would i see any performance gains with just adding a new muffler?
Thanks to anyone who responds, im in the learning process and i don't wanna be just another kid who pays people to throw on parts and not understanding what they do.
