15 minutes, huh?

Do you not think that a board with over 1/2 million posts might already contain at least one discussion about modifications and that perhaps searching might be useful?

first thing is to change out the AST (air separation tank) the discoloration shows wear. Very interesting alternator. Is that stock?

Looks like an upgraded alternator.

Your car is an import to Aus? Is that a compliance plate on the firewall?

If you want low end punch you'll want to change to a piston engine. It's just a fact of life that rotaries (even boosted ones) aren't punchy down low.

But then, nobody ever wins a race down low.

Check the FAQ, particularly the link under "Advice" near the top.
