Mods you regret?

I regret the noisy KAAZ unit. Even with LSD additive it is too noisy.

i regreted not plumbing the wastegate to the downpipe to begin with. Now it is done and so much better. Yeah the kaaz unit does suck *** when making turns under load, but its definately worth it. I felt a decent power gain switching over.

Non-sequential!!! When I did that mod I hated it. Sequential is so much nicer. No, no, I am not trying to start something, just one man's opinion.

I regret paying for BS mail order tuning 2 times. If only Steve would have been traveling and we would have had Datalogit's back then.

BTW - That BS tuning cost me 2 engines. But I didnt know **** about tuning back then. That was like 2 years ago and there wasnt as much info on the net about tuning.

I regret installing a prespool controller to try and increase my boost transition. I tried for over a month to get the two manual controllers to work together, with no success. My boost never did work properly with that POS hooked up. I finally wound up removing the pre-spool controller. I wish I had never installed it.

Was it completely solid or have some sort of bushing?

It was a solid one. It pretty much made the car unbearably rattly.
