Grounding Kit

wassup all?! i was just wondering how much of a difference a grounding kit makes? im planning on getting one since its a cheap upgrade, that if enough positive feedback, then ill just get one.

and also, does anyone know of anywhere else to get a turbo kit for the 3 besides hi-boost? there not bad or anything but was just trying to find one cheaper.

thanks all, l8r

Grounding kit will help with your electronics, such as smoothing the idle, and making sure your headlights don't dim from subwoofer hits.

As for performance (ie: speed), you may not notice that it even exists.

As for turbo, if you're going to spend the cash on a turbo, go all the way and get Hiboost. Don't cheap out with such an expensive part.

ya well i know everything a grounding kit will do for you but i was just seeing if n e one could give some major feedback.

like on another thread they were talking about just grounding your throttle, it made a noticable difference on some in engine response.

Butt Dyno

I've yet to see an actual dyno showing real response or gains. Not saying it's bad, smooth idle should save gas, better lightning, and may even give you 0.12 hp
