I've done a boatload of mods while making my wagon what I want it to be. My top 3 would be the super lightweight 16" CLK wheels, updating the crappy belt tensioner to the later 104 style, and of course the custom turbo install.

The very first test drive with the initial turbo setup was VERY satisfying. With just a short dump pipe on the turbo, the exhaust snarl mixed with turbo whine was extremely exhilirating. However the MOST satisfying work was building and installing the 2nd turbo engine. A LOT of planning, blood, sweat, tears, pain, work, and time was spent building the current engine.
