A Stage 1 chip (Intended Acceleration Stage 3) bumping
to upper teens/ 20 psi makes a world of difference
over stock and is very satisfying.  Plan on installing
a boost guage so you can troubleshoot the install
(all those sensors need to keep the ECU happy or 
boost goes bye-bye).

I have stock cq clutch with chipped 3B and no
slipping.

I had some pictures of mine, basically below where
the battery used to be.  I'll try to find the pics.

An Optima fits nicely into the cargo slot, after
removing the foam liner.

> 7: Install new heater core & possibly complete
Excellent idea with the dash out, 2Bennett did this
as part of the package on mine.

> 11: Decide on air box or cone filter and install.
S2 or RS2 fits nicely and has stock look, but is a
few $$$ new.  Uses same filter panel as Ur-S4/S6.
