strut braces S40-V40

Only a K&N filter (not a cone) and a "home made" cold air intake. Since I don't have the fog lights, I replaced the driver side "blank" with a grill (and one on the other side just for looks). This helps cool the air inside the upper part of the fender where the air intake is located.
As soon as the weather warms-up a little, I'll try shortening the wastegate actuator a little. I've read on other boards that it makes a big difference.
Oh, and using the highest octane fuel you can find also helps. I always fill-up with 93 or 94 octane & the difference is realy noticable.
