JL used to have one, he hated it. I was driven in it many times. Too small for tall people. His kept up with a stockish 00+ T/A on a freeway blast. (unknown drive train/mods)

There are only good things to be said for a quick winding, turbo, AWD car on the back twisties of Pennsylvania. Even more fun with 4 Blizzaks on and snow covered twisties.

LOL, that don't sound like no DD to me. Especially the 20psi. I wouldn't want that much stress on my daily driver. Nice car though.

1) Congrats on the purchase and love the color!
2) I would definitely check your air/fuel ASAP to make sure it isn't running a stock map and going lean. Pushing that boost with the modified intake tract and a stock tune would be bad sauce.
3) If it is really pushing 20psi on the stock turbo, that's damn near topping it out. The 06 turbo pushes 14.7 stock (1 bar)
4) Move the exhaust and/or protect the bumper.

Nice looking DD! That's my favorite front end on those (which is odd since I wasn't a fan when they first came out).

Let us know how it runs at the track.
