Not an 00, but a JDM GDBB (a bugeye STi) got the treatment recently, and it certainly improved the audio quality Owner thinks it has made the car quieter, and pull more smoothly too. Oh, and reports fewer shocks from the car

Dereck,
Its just a case of running approx 6 wires from various points around the engine bay and one from inside the car (ecu bolt) to the battery negative.
If you wait a week or so until the search comes back on, its been covered on several threads that included pics etc

I did it, and I do reckon it made the car smoother. Might be placebo, but it was worth it IMHO. Of course, I did it on the cheap
