Active Autowerke Gen 2 Level 3 SC Kit + Meth kit. I've always felt my car lacked in the power department. Once we installed the SC kit i instantly felt the car was up to my "ideal spec" the 3 BOV's sound crazy, the whine alone makes the presence known. But the power band revving it out to 8600rpm feels endless.
