Inventory help

My car was tuned significantly before I purchased it.

Here's what I know:
- I know for sure that the ECU has been reflashed, but I don't know which tune or by whom.

- I have headers and Miltek exhaust

- K&N filter

- I'm holding 1.2-1.4 bar without any problems, so this car has some other mods

- I can hear a whistle when shifting following high boost from the bov, not sure if stock or not

- The car runs smoothly, although it runs very rich at startup.

- No CELs, but the light definitely works

I'm trying to figure out what else has been done - an inventory. Any suggestions on where to look and how to tell what other mods the car has? I'm thinking that it might have a fpr, diverters, bovs, and even some turbo work (although the turbo housing appears to be stock). Thoughts? suggestions?

Are the turbos stock? In general, an fpr alone wont make a car VERY rich on start up, are you sure it doesnt have injectors?

I agree with Neil. Post some pictures and see if anyone knows the car!

good high rez engine bay pics and under car pics will help us identify aftermarket parts.

I'll try to get some pictures of the engine bay from the top and underneath this weekend. That's the car in question in my avatar. It's an 04 cab, lapis blue metallic with a blue top, beige interior, ceramic brakes. It would be great if someone knows the car. There can't be too many like it, as only 1490 were sold in the US.

Calling some tuners with previous owner's name would be a pretty easy start. With as small as community as this is, it shouldn't be too hard to track down the info.

Unfortunately, I am the third owner of the car and the mods were done by the first owner, whose name I don't know.

Write the VIN# that would help tuners to find out if they know your car.

I agree, if your boosting 1.2-1.4 you may even have upgraded turbos. A picture of the turbos (mainly the wastegate brackets and cans) could even lead you down the path of who flashed the car.
