I think I'll leave the throttle and discharge pipe then as I also don't plan on running WMI.

Just coil packs and either BCP or BKR plugs.

@Zubair: Lol. Man, I applaude your passion and sharing of knowledge. I've got no beef, it's just that the phrase "taken with a pinch of salt" can't help but come to mind! My main issue/concern is that fact can also just be an observation and not necessarily a reason? Slower throttle response may be due to something else for example? One may think that only one variable changed but something else could've changed unknowingly. You need "collective evidence"! But that's what makes it interesting I guess... :grin:

Btw, the dsg vs manual was more of a dig than the FRC vs Revo. Don't care for software wars, and the manual is better than dsg debate (Ryan, Titleist, etc....) is quite funny! :troll:

On the dogmount point (directed at everybody, including Zubair :smile: ): I don't have one and don't have wheel hop but the wheels just spin. Would a dogbone insert still be beneficial? :???:

The dogmount helped with wheelhop, the Eibachs helped with the little remaining wheelhop and wheelspin. But take that with a pinch of salt :p

At least do the throttle pipe! After the pipes the sound my car makes is much deeper. I hear the dp a whole lot more now. More air flowing to the throttlebody is the reasoning behind that. My cars response is much much better now. Will go back to FR&R sometime soon to see what's up.
