-installed CAI
-STage 1 wieght reduction

EGR --i know it has something to do with recurculating exhaust back into the engine

Searching 101

93EXaesthetic ... you forgot one you already had: ICE = In-Car Entertainment

OK, this is easy, but let's get it out of the way: ABS (sometimes ALB) = Anti-Lock Braking System

ECU = Electronic Control Unit (the car's primary computer or "main brain")
TCU = Transmission Control Unit (an auto tranny's computer)

What should also be mentioned here, is that despite the heavy use of three-letter acronyms, cb7tuner.com isn't set up to allow three-character searches. Maybe even four-character searches now as well, I don't remember. Hopefully with more site sponsorship this situation will improve one day. (Sponsorship = $$ = servers/bandwidth)

Something to think about when relying on acronyms when typing out a post, and then wondering why "no one searches."
