I have set up this pole to help other Turbo and future Turbo owners out for the future. Pick what you feel has been the best mod to your car since owning it. i.e.: Power kits "Stage 2,3,4,5-RUF 550 etc...Wheels....Suspension...Seats or other Interior Parts...

Let's keep this going guys!! I predict that the Power Adder will be the most looked at mod of all.

I beg to differ and think that brakes and suspension are ESSENTIAL especially for higher HP cars...The coilovers mad mine a totally different car....Exhaust alone also gives a lot more HP for those paranoid about their warranties...
worst mod to date (not really a mod): X50!!!

EVO stage IVgt was by far the best upgrade I've made. In fact, it's the only thing I've ever bought for a Porsche that was worth every dollar paid. Usually you pay about $2 for every $1 in value for p-car mods.

I agree.... My IA Stage IV is the best mod I have done... It has made the car so much more fun to drive....

Thanks Stephen....

What about a short shift kit? It dramaticly reduces the throw of the transmission and makes the whole car feel tighter IMHO.

I agree with msindi , in my limited experience with my turbo i think a more agressive suspension, and less assisted clutch would be my first concern. jose

Power upgrade is the most fun but the cosmetic ones are visually inspiring. If I could only have one or the other, I'd probably do cosmetic as the base cars performance is nothing to sneeze at.
