You need this extra to make it last:
To get the power on the road, you need a reinforced sports clutch. The original clutch cannot handle the increased torque. For the optimal oil temperature, we recommend our oil cooler kit. This will protect your engine from overheating! For the oil cooler kit, we recommend that you order our digital oil temperature indicator, so you always have the oil temperature of your engine at a glance.
We recommend a harmonic damper so that the whole thing is still nice to drive.
We recommend to refuel 102 octane fuel. This will give your engine more power because it knocks less! The turbocharger should not be too old. Engine in good condition. The base must be in good condition as well.
