Bo Bug got his UPsolute chip modification in June with the addition of a K&N drop in filter.  What a difference in torque and performance.  Today (September 7) he is fitted with a GReddy G2 cat-back system.  The team at Alamo Autosports in Arlington, TX did a super job on the install.  It sounds sweet and looks awesome.  The final piece for the horse power upgrade.  The dyno runs show 195 hp at the flywheel and 170 hp at the tires.  Not bad for a little 4 cylinder turbo.
