Noobie member here. I'm planning to meet with AAM next week to discuss TT on my 09 base/manual. This car is bone stock, I'm trying to educate myself the best I can before meeting to attempt to grasp what I will need to make this transition. I know I will upgrade suspension over winter but am trying to take advantage of their scheduling so I know I'm probably doing this a bit backwards. From searching the forum I've kind of come up with my understanding, trying to differentiate between minimal must haves up front versus really should haves which I will do over the winter. This is my understanding, please help me fill in the voids.

Must Haves Upfront:
TT kit
Exhaust
Clutch/Flywheel/upgraded CSC
Tune/UpRev
Gauges/Controller (if I plan on leaving at low boost is this needed?)
Upgraded motor/tranny mounts

Over the winter after install:
Upgraded rear differential and mounting bushings
Suspension/tires

Trying to make this a stealth build so not planning on body kits, etc.

I apologize if this has been covered before, please excuse my ignorance!

Thanks!
Alan
