The most cost effective engine mods are the ones you can afford

probably the best mod for the money is the rrm intercooled turbo, rrm claims 230+ to the wheels, but most dynos i have seen are under 200. if you want to stay n/a you will have to do quite a bit, but the most cost effective mod for n/a is the piggyback ecu from what i understand.

IM and TB are good. Piggy is better. But in the long run, you want both. So you just decide what you want first.

OT: Kareem. Had an event yesterday. all I can say is- power is good. And I didn't have any when I needed it 3-4k is dead flat and I wasn't able to carry much speed out of the hairpins and slaloms. WBO2 on its way and hopefully I can tune some power into that section.

TB, you only have RRM. It's hard to do, so it ain't cheap.

IM, you can get them bored from EvoM members, or used sometimes. (So I'm not too obvious, I'll just say this - "Kris, PM him.")

^^ You can also get a TB from RPW. You can get everything for your engine from RPW. Check www.visionimports.com for RPW stuff as well. I'm waiting for them to get the FSE fuel pressure regulator in stock again. I'm also getting a bored 97 Mirage IM from a member on here.
