Define "cheap" although Slider does have the right of the cheapest way to go about it.

I'd say go for a strip down on your car, drift style.

Like what FC3slider said...

and lose those extra pounds....

Do the throttle body mod. i noticed a slight increase in power,

and it's free if u know how to weld if not it will only cost you around $20.

Here's a how-to link

Buy a 'Mean Kitty' sticker and put it on your car...that's like 30whp right there...

all wrong.



the cheap most inexpensive way to get more power out of your car is to strip the interior, and go on a diet yourself.



less moving mass = faster car



total cost to you = $0


cost to you = -50 bucks in the money you dont spend on food!



the TB mod helps more along with other modifications such as the safc, which i absolutly hate btw but it does get the job done (i used one for awhile). i would also look into a Rtek, either the 2.0 or the 1.7/1.8. for light mods, such as the ones im listing, the 1.7/1.8 is perfect. remember to port the stock wastegate and get a 3" turbo back exhaust. i have a friend whos car dynoed at 250 WHP with those mods on a S5 turbo and manifold. i had this exact setup and it was lots of fun, now i have a T4/67 and a E8 >



www.pocketlogger.com for the rtek



cost is:

Rtek 1.7 125

The 2 injectors for the Rtek (2 720's) 100-150

Exhaust 200

SAFC 150

625 for a nice, not to extreme setup that doesent really comprimise reliablity(sounds good to me), well the little reliablity that it allready has.

Get an aftermarket exhaust. Most bang for buck IMO. Though thats based on a turbo model

For a turbo back exhaust, just some generic exhaust tubing would do. A nice turbo back system vs generic exhaust shop steel tubing would make the same power if they are the same diameter and mandrel bent.
