I would add Cold Air Intake (approx. $250.00), header(approx. 350.00), and a VAFC 11 with a dyno tune (500.00). These mods gave me approx. 20 HP on a Dyno. You'll notice I left out a catback exhaust, which is probably 5-6 HP but you can probably skip if money gets tight. If you can find a tuner who can reflash your ECU, you can proably do w/out the VAFC. The VAFC cannot advance your timing but a reflash will be able to do this. I had my ecu reflashed from a co. in Ca. for $300.00. This was done before I had the VAFC installed and Dyno tuned. If I had it do over, I would probably skip the reflash since any
changes they make to your ecu will be very conservative. For your info, I used K and N for my CAI, D. C. Sports for Header, Dent Sport Garage in Boston for VAFC/Dyno tune, and Invidia Catback Exhaust. You and others may not get exactly the same gains as I did, but they will be relatively close, maybe more or maybe less. E-mail me if you would like to connect privately (or not). Good luck.
Also, Dent Sport Garage was on the cover of Sport Compact CAR last month and is very highly regarded, at least in the Northeast.

Feel free to contact me. I'm glad the info was useful. "looking into it" and research costs nothing. By the way, I read that Comptech is either being bought out or is going out of business. "Autoweek Magazine". I didn't know comptech made air intakes.

Comptech is closed.
