A wing? You mean a spoiler? lol, no.

Go to radioshack and find get yourself a pack of 10k resistors for like a buck.....Find the instructions on where to insert it (inserts into your ICP)....It takes about 1 minute to do....They are on this site in the mod help section near the top of the forum.....You can also just go to google and google "10k mod directions" or similar...

Do the Zoodad mod....Get youself a holesaw in whatever diamter you want, preferable around 3" or so, or you can use several smaller holes....Remove your grill.....Locate where the air intake runs into the radiator support on the right side of the radiator, and drill through the support...Next Cover the hole(s) with mesh of some sort, so that bugs and things cant get in it..

Next, do the wastegate mod.....Simply find the red vacuum line thats plugged into your wastegate, and unplug it, than find a bolt that you can use to plug the line with....Usually the bolts on the Intercooler tube clamps work quite well for this...Try all three of these things to start, your butt dyno will definitely feel it.

I ran mine unplugged for a little and it sure felt peppier empty and in the low rpm range, but when I hooked up to pull, it sure felt weaker. usually ill run with the line off then when its time to pull my boat ill pop the hood and stick it back on. try it out and see what you think.
