Are the dps worth it

Are dps or front mount a better mod?

I would do some type of BMS or Vishnu piece before I touched either of those..

Plus, AMS hasn't released their downpipes or intercooler yet

A tune is the best bang for the buck. If its only between the front mount and dp, I would go with the dp.

I would start with a tune, I don't think either will actually give you the gains quoted out a tune. If I am not mistaken the computer is designed to keep the car performing within the specified hp/tq range and will just retard the performance when it goes above those levels. However, since the system will be more efficient, you will get the same performance, but the turbo's will not have to work as hard. A tune will over ride the stock parameters an allow you to take advantage of the upgrades.
