a new diverter valve will help a bit with throttle response and turbo spooling making it a little bit less sluggish and is a really cheap mod

yeah. Go for a forge splitter or diverter valve. The splitter will do the same as a diverter, but adds that "pshh" sound like a blow off valve. Get the thing chipped, that will whip it into shape. I'd also recommend an exhaust kit for the chip. The chip and exhaust will be expensive though

The dark tint looks great man! One the cheapest and easiest mods you can do is painting the lowers of your car the same color as the rest of the car. I think it makes the our cars look great. Get the ECU upgrade too.

Car is looking good! I prefer fishbowl over tint though.

So when are you hitting up the local GTG's?

Thumbs down

there is definitely no need to flame your car buddy. I have the exact same tint job. It makes a huge difference in Texas (although our A/C's are pretty damn cold, and get that way quick). I really like the privacy as well.

As mentioned the ECU flashing seems to be the first mod. I had Troyer performance send me 3 separate tunes for my F150 and it woke it up big time. I know the same results cant be had on my 2.8, but definitely significant for sure.

A throttle body cleaning and magneto core plug wires would be a good compliment for the new flash in order to get the smoothest idle out of your vehicle (provided the 02 sensors and MAF are still in good shape). On top of that, a good seafoaming.

We just sit around in a circle holding each other's hands while sharing our emotional problems.

The majority of us are pretty much friend now. We started out doing strictly car meets at parking lots and slowly evolved to eat-out GTG's now. Check into the West for more info and future events. Hope to meet you soon!
