      I wouldn't even bother. Why not spend half as much and just build a NA 2.5l and boost it. Same or better results, less money. ;) Exactly what I'm doing with mine, goals will be 5-600whp, low end on pump as it's my daily. All the parts are waiting just no time. :(

      Wider front track width and TT spindles are mentioned. Perhaps a greater degree of steering + suspension geometry to adjust as well. I thought the b-roll clips of those parts were awesome!

      It can't. UM has done some sorcery with their loaded files so you can simply change octane, and boost. In a specific field/block you basically type in 93 for 93oct or 100 for 100oct.... or 15 for 15psi, or 28 for 28psi.
