What do you guys recommend for under $500? I thought about a cold air intake and then I looked at the stock snorkel that pipes in air from the fender well. I'm not sure you could improve on that. So I was thinking axle back or even cat back exhaust but what else?
Hmmm... for $500... get a K&N drop in, lightened pulley, and Stromung for the exhaust. At least that's what I would probably do if I was going to spend that much.
i think you could do a light turbo kit for under $500. 5 PSI of boost is good for like 7 lbs and wont require any engine management except for maybe a FMU.
or do a 2.5 block swap and use the 2.2 heads, makes for a big bump in CR
Get some form of engine management (e.g. PP6) you can generally find it used for around $300. You can then accomodate any other mods that come your way.
Hahahaha... (imagine ancient shaolin master laughing)
