Welcome. Do some searching on here and you'll probably change your mind about BOV and CAI. These cars do pretty well on stock BOV and drop-in filter. Most gains come from TBE and MBC with a good tune.

i would like to get to 350-400 at the wheels, with minimal major engine changes...ie stuff that would require a full pull. i know that some might not think thats high enuff, but with 3 kids a dog, cat, and hamster..im not looking to beat Torreto i just wanna tweak her a little. ive been getting alot of advice from local evo guru's and am learning a ton.

id like to upgrade the turbo/intrcoolr...injectors/fuel pump..cai..turbo back exhaust..and get re-map'd. and some bling stuff like a boost controller and boost gauge( yeah, i dont even have one of those yet). thats it in a nutshell.

That's cool Tom, we have similar goals... I'm around the 325awhp area right now which isn't bad for the mods and ridiculous heat we have right now.

I have a forced performance evogreen, buschur racing ported/coated stock exhaust manifold and bushchur racing deluxe fmic on the way... I hope that gets me a minimum of 350 and I'd love to see 375-400awhp on pump gas.
