Dislike your tires that much? LOL

I am sure Greek can lead you in the right direction, as I think he's also had such a hatred for his tires :P

Good luck on the upgrade.

raise the boost pressure 2 or 3 psi above stock, ecu re-map .. rica do them, they are quite popular these days, better more free flowing exhaust system ... try jetex - they are pretty hot. obviously induction kit, but try to get it as close to cold air as possible, i myself dont have an air filter on mine which is dangerous so wouldnt recommend it, but it makes a BIG difference ;) (seperates the men from the boy racers)
