Shortening the wastegate actuater rod dealys its opening during spool-up and reduces the turbo lag. In combined with an upgraded ECU, it will create a surge of boost at wild-opened-throttle. The results are sufferred drivability and engine durability, especially in the low rpm range. So, I would leave it at stock.

A set of lowering springs and a strut tower brace will improve the handling quite a bit, although not as significant as the upgraded anti-sway bars.
