03 Where it breaks first
Theta history says monitor oil and bearings once boost climbs. Logging is cheap; a replacement block is not.
The N takes track abuse well by design. Keep DCT and diff fluids fresh and it keeps taking it.
04 The typical path
Stage 1 tune → intake → downpipe → intercooler → Stage 2 tune. Fueling before E85, driveline before sticky tires.
