I figured it'd be something like that (or else you'd run into issues in the midrange with turbo and supercharger going at the same time) I wouldn't mind learning more about it then archiving it for my later use once I have the money and ability.

(if I go with the stock one I'd buy a different one so I could keep driving mine).
I'm not familiar with the factory downpipe on the 4 cylinder engines,so I'd have to see it to say for sure.At your power goal,you don't need a huge downpipe,so the factory piece modded will probably be fine.

great, I hadn't thought of it until just now but the exhaust may need to be higher flow to stop from choking, this would also have to be fabbed as the only other Ti produced with a higher flow exhaust is the Euro only 323Ti, which is also an I6.

New wheels came and while I was asleep my parents went and picked them up from USPS and mounted them and woke me up and surprised me with them. A sweet gesture, but I was worried cause the car kinda looked like dookie and I didn't understand why. There was just this huge wheel arch gap in the front that i could like stick my whole fist in, at first i was thinking "ok i just need a drop is all" then I looked at the lips. 3" lip in the front, 1" lip in the rear my dad is from the musclecar days when people would mount meatier sidewalls in the back of streetcars, so I'm looking at my car with a 17"x 8.5" front wheels with 205/40/17 in the front and 16" x 8" rear wheels with 205/50/16 in the back. He has no excuse for mounting the wider tire in the front except maybe just not thinking, still I thought it was pretty funny.
