I have a stock 2020 GT2 that I've been planning to add some mods to but haven't found the money for yet. My dad owns a used car dealership and they recently bought a 2018 gt2 with a blown motor that's going to be completely replaced. Come to find out the car has K&N cold air intakes as well as GFB blow-off valves. You can also see a Eibach anti roll bar , I don't know if there is one for the rear as well. I unsure as to if I should fit these parts to my car or if they should be thrown out with the engine due to the blown motor. I couldnt see any reason in my mind that they would not be functional , but it'll just be a hassle to take everything off of the car and fit it to mine, but for the ~$1000 worth of parts I think I would. I have some pictures but am unable to upload them because of being a new forums user :(
 
The intakes will give you turbo noises. If you like that, you should go for it. Definitely take the sway bars if you can. I’ve had front and rear on both of my stingers and they make a HUGE difference in handling. Can’t speak to blowoff valves but my understanding is that they don’t do much for you unless you’re making way more boost than factory. Which the stinger with the blown engine probably was. Hence the blown engine.
 
I think I saw your post on reddit with the pictures. Hopefully you clean anything really nicely before you use it because that looked really dirty. I have the GFB bov too (totally love them). They work far better if you don't loosen the spring much. I would honestly have it not come out at all and make sure they are below the surface area. It makes them really loud if you use the trumpets with the spring more inside. The K&N with the GFB in recirculation mode is pretty darn loud too! I sometimes switch them up and run it in vent or recirculation. Such amazing bov's, wish more were like them!

The K&N have a pretty cool unique noise to them it really makes you be heard. You can hear them from inside of the car too. I remember when I got them first time I was blown away how clear you could hear them.
