Want 20-30 more ponies

[galaxy749]

All i want out of my P5 is 20-30 more HP. Don't feel like getting a turbo or supercharger unless it's really the most feasable option (BLING BLING :'( )so any suggestions otherwise?
just in case, what turbo's would you all recommend?
THX in advance

Well..how much are you willing to spend?

 

[galaxy749]

well, if i must i suppose 3-4000.

Well, for that you can get your 20-30 n/a hp. Start with intake, headers, maybe a hi-flow cat, exhaust, and cams. That would be..$1200-1500 and you'd be pretty close if not there. For more info on those, try searching the performance section. A turbo kit would probably cost a little more than $4k by the time you're done with it, but to find out more than that check out the Forced Induction forum.

I agree.... but if you're going N/A don't forget the higher compression pistons either!

NA has been discussed many times on this board, I think CH has yeilded the best gains so far. about 135whp.but he has a 1.8L. Most people that have done what you stated were not impressed. NA would take a lot of money and tuning.

Nitrous if your looking for cheap, insta-horsepower when you need it. Its fine as long as you don't abuse it. You could easily run a 50-75 shot once in a while.
