Hi, my name is Paul and I have a 2009 RalliArt in Rotor Glo Orange. It is stock so far but I am looking to change that. I live In Barrie, ON - about 45 mins N. of Toronto....anyone close by?
What are the first things I should look at to upgrade acceleration?
Intake? Exhaust? Remapping the chip?

[TheBlackBeast]

Welcome aboard!

Intercooler, exhaust and tune, best bang for your buck!

[larmyca]

welcome to the club!
I wouldnt worry about intake if I were you.
Go to your local reputable tuner with a dyno,
Install a boost pill. (best cheapest reliable power gain)
Get a Custom dyno tune.

Where is there a decent, reliable tuner in the GTA?

What is a BOV?

[TheBlackBeast]

BOV= Blow Off Valve
A required piece of hardware for turbos to operate.

As a heads up, it's usually best to post new questions you have in:
a) the appropriate forum (i.e.: general questions in the general forum)
and
b) a new thread instead of adding onto an existing thread.

Keep on learning! There's a lot of cool stuff to learn about on these cars.

Welcome to the club. Brakes first :D

Welcome to the club As geargrinder said brakes first,you need to stop before you can go!

[larmyca]

what kind of brake upgrades? pistons? calipers? rotors?

keep it simple...just get pads...it's cheaper

geargrinder had project mu, he loves it...ask him for details....

otherwise for overkill...brembo upgrades or endless or stoptech...i pretty sure last 2 i mentioned had a set of complete break upgrades...

but of course ur looking at $$$$$$$$$$$ to spend on breaks...

my plan for my car is keep it simple and keep it "legal"...

all evo x upgrades (-turbo for now)
3" stealth exhaust (turboback...hopefully)
0.75" drop
then project mu's

hope this helps u...

[larmyca]

thx, i already ordered a Borla exhaust and am probably going with AMS stage 0 which is a boost pill and re-flash

[Ralliart23]

hey man sorry i was away an vaca for a bit. My cottage is really in orillia, i just say barrie when people ask, they tend to know that moreso. it in the narrows between lake simcoe and koooootch. anyways, i know in vaughan right by the vaughan mills mall is magnus, which is your best bet for tuning and such.

[larmyca]

[larmyca]

the dealer should be able to install it in < 1 1/2 hrs

[MTZL]

thats a nice sounding exhaust.

[larmyca]
