My poor, poor credit card.

how to lighten one's wallet in four easy steps (by decypher the code)

I don't even want to add up the invoices, it's almost too depressing.

step 1: Bosch Motorsport fuel pump (aka ’044′)
step 2: Tial 44mm external wastegate and 0.8 bar spring
step 3: 4x Denso 850cc injectors (still on order, not in this photo)
step 4: Garrett GT3071R twinscroll ball-bearing turbo

If I don’t be making 400PS in terror squid after all this crap gets fitted ‘n tuned, tantrums shall be thrown. Excessively.
