Pro charger it with a water to air intercooler kit & more cooling for the engine. I mean.... Look, yes the compression rings need to be re-gapped to the correct gap to handle it, but that should be it. & like, the ac can be worked on anywaysssss... Right!?
Love you having fun dude & enjoying things.
Breaks are always needed, more power, more breaking. breaks are easy, vented is the better way to go for sure. Love the tire choice, & wheel choice, looks good dude. I will say, they might only be good for so much more, which is fun, because if they didn't break traction the differential might hate you. I love these things too, I was that guy that heard people say they were for women & went (sadly) with that for a while but wasn't really thinking that just said what others would say. I'm glad I don't think that way anymore.
It would be amazing if they update these things in the future to have some good pro-charged i6's in them & a cool torque vector awd, everything is limited slip. These are great fun, to do that requires a good amount of work, doable yes, but hard. Needs suspension, air intake placement, shoving another radiator into wheel wells & using gills & the inner fender to make a multi-radiator setup work, bigger tires, a little lift for them, a bigger break, a front diff, a torsen splitter or similar, it all gets rough on time & wallet.
But, you don't need it to have fun, a standard pro-charger can get you into the 400hp range & huge torque still, its the differential that tends to hate you. Manuals tend to handle more power for longer, until they really sadly won't. Drive shaft too, yeah you know lol.
But, a few pounds & a little break upgrade will give you an pretty easy & great close to or just above 300hp. Doesn't scream at you saying "what have you done to me, I am roid-meth-god!" while having shiny stuff get made in places you don't want.
The real final upgrade for these engines are double wrist pins, you'll have to google & likely have them 3d printed which will work, but it increases stroke length & improves compression. It gives you a 2l & improves the inline part of the piston skirt to cylinder to gain that power back. Since you are already there re-gapping compression rings, why not right?
Absolutely go for it, it will be some of the most fun, easy 300hp, or at least 250hp with gobs of torque which is the fun stuff & it doesn't cause issues to the transmission, drive shaft, differential, etc. & it fits stock connection rods & more, no need to worry about it.
Why don't people hear about it? Honestly I barely did, I read it in a magazine & briefly online like close to 2 decades ago on cars. It turns out its patented & cars manufacturers didn't want to pay. & it was good tech, genuinely did improve things. But they hold that patent, others have to make their own & if they don't make it for your stuff it means that's all you get. It doesn't take off as much then. So, yeah 3d printing with a hole sizing after printing, or pcbway cnc you get the general idea, it takes a little measuring but its worth it.
