Yeah it is the vf52 I would love to upgrade to something that would spool quicker but I don't plan on getting to crazy with it and wouldn't want to upgrade pistons,rods,block,crank you get the idea.

you would have to look at an aftermarket turbo then, the obvious being some form of Garret turbo.

But if you keep the VF52 i would recommend heat wrap for the downpipe and up pipe. Turbo beanie/blanket for the exhaust housing. A cold air intake, grimmspeed do a good one for your car. An electronic boost controller, maybe the grimmspeed EBCS? And a quick tune to top it off.

that should all keep you within your warranty conditions too?

That is really nice looking man

everything you mentioned would void my warranty except the turbo blanket and heat wrap. If you see my first post I listed future mods once out of warranty.

Appointment made for the 24th to get 15mm wheel spacers for the front and 20mm for the rear since I don't wanna go hellafrush, while in the shop for the spacers I am having the car aligned and tires balanced while having new center caps and tuner lugs put on since the wheels will be off the car.

* not my car but the same wheels and center caps I ordered

Hopefully I will have an update before then since I plan on getting the growing box of parts on my car and not in my garage.

Those are some expensive wheels! I'm going to be going with the XXR 550's and then have them powder coated either midnight purple or slate blue.

I really love the xxr 521s since they are lm20 knock offs

but got extremely lucky finding my wheels since they only made them 1 year at 5*100 and once they moved to 5*114 they got almost 5lbs heavy per wheel. I needed all season tires and got the wheels with brand new tires was win/win
