I got my car with 4 miles on it and just wonderin if:

1. brakes make noise while slowing down on occasion?

2. the ride quality is really that harsh? i heard it was but suprised by how much so

3. the whistling sound was the turbo spooling? (im new to F.I. coming from my teggy)

4. when exactly does boost kick in? ( i heard 3200 rpms, but sometimes it feels like it kicks in earlier)


Sorry bout the noobish ?'s but i couldnt really find the answers when i was searching.

boost doesn't necessarily "hit" when it starts. peak boost is usually where the power "hits" boost usually "starts" earlier

Your stock suspension is pretty amazing from the factory.... IMO
you do have insurance right? I hate to think you're adding to my premiums every year... I always get that non-insured motorists crap just for added safety...

The stock suspension to me is a bit too bumpy, but its tolerable just as long its not a drive to like las vegas.
I just got my insurance today so u dont have to worry O0

yes it does, alignment is always a good first step along with rear sway bar.
