The car is not even out yet, no one know's anything about tuning it yet. Rumor has it that Dinan got a hold of a PTG engine and are in the middle of R&D for a Supercharger for it. The engine it's self is at the end of it's moded life. It has already been bored and stroked by the factory to just get the amount of power out of it that it has, remember it is up from 321hp to 343hp in Euro trim. If I remember PTG was complaining about how hard it was to get 400hp out of the new engine and that came about by doing everything under the sun to it, and the poor thing still has problems keeping up with the Porsche cars on the track. I would be happy with a chip, a new intake box and exhaust, maybe maybe porting and polishing later. In Europe the hot tumer now is DigiTech they rock when it come to engine mods on the 3.2l and get like 360hp from it, thats like 40hp more then stock, but who knows how long it will last in the real world. Suspension is H&R for coil overs but remember the car is not out yet, so stop day dreaming and get in line to get one, you still have another six months till you can sit in one.
