we are deadly serious, unless you want to get sucked into modding the heck out of your car and never being satisfied with what power you have and always striving to be the fastest then you should never visit this site again, just forget you ever came here and get on with your life , until i visited this site i had never modded a car for power ever, now i just cant stop, i feel like the automitive version of a crack addict

You have a great car and this is an awesome forum for learning. Just remember to enjoy the car and not get too caught up with the Jones'.
IMHO If you are going for a sane value upgrade, as mentioned in the previous post. I have done the following minimum upgrades as I really like my stock clutch and wish to remain aquainted with it for a long time. 
In order of appearance....
The only other thing I will add for extra in cylinder cooling is a 60/40 or 70/30 Meth injection using the Aquamist hfs-6 System with twin .9mm Injectors.
The Softronic Flash for Me Wins HANDS DOWN ESPECIALLY because of the EASE of install AND De-Install, compatibility with the Durametric OBDII Interface. AND of course the prompt and courtious help from Softronic. They are looking into whether I need any adjustments for my Water Injection.
The rest of the car will remain stock till I sell it. I will sell it with all the mods.
In order of appearance....
- FaBspeed Gen II with 200 Cell CATS
- 1 bar Wastegate Actuators (Adjusted to 13psi)
- Forge DVs
- Softronic X50 Flash (1.3 - 1.4 bar sustained in 3rd WOT)

Check out our L1 Best Value Package, it is really the beginners mod package, everything you need to do an initial wake up of the car. The exhaust is also a staple for many future modifications, as it has been proven at over 1100hp.
Flash
High Flow Air Filter
SPI Exhaust.
Enjoy your new ride, I am sure you will have a lot of fun.

what kind of horsepower increase are we looking at L1? increase of____
Approximately 520-550hp at the crank, so 105-135 additional hp.

I'm sorry but anything over 1.2 BAR is just hot air.... literally
K24s are already struggling t 1.2

Ari is absolutely correct on this...unless you are running some big turbos/hybrids anything over 1.2 is a waste...and about 1.0 for K16s.
