Reroute your windsheild wiper sprayer nozzles to spray on your IC.

Weight reduction. There is a whole list of parts you can take off and not loose anything and a list of those that MIGHT kill you. Up to 150 lbs can be removed from your car.

Open exhaust. Loud, but free and ok for the track.

Thats all I can think off.

How does that work, or rather, how is that done? And how would I go about rerouting the windshield sprayer nozzles to the intercooler?
Hehe this is my first turbo car and I (still) haven't had much of a chance to poke around (for fear of the dreaded expired warranty!)

True dat! But exactly does pulling the vacuum hose work? Like I said, I'm new to turbos and horizontally opposed engines
