Most % power increase with n/a bolts

With full bolt-ons and a tune, most people seem to hit the 300-330 range. I've seen one member hit 340 but I think he's the only one up there. And

And as most have said, parts for these cars can get pretty pricey fairly quickly.
Anywhoo, Enjoy car

Used parts will bring the cost down a whole lot. I'll bet you can get intake, cats, exhaust and an uprev license for less than $2k fairly easily. Add another couple hundred for tuning and you're good to go.

You're pretty spot on with that estimate:
$800 ark grip
$300 FI HFC
$300 Takeda CAI
$500 ECUTek w/ lifetime tune
$1900 total - everything brand used except the ECUTek

WHAT!?

there's also that route, if you stock the forum long enough you can get some pretty good deals

I asked the question just to get other people's results. I am located in Australia and the dyno's that we use are different from your dyno's so wanted to get the % gains as a good comparison to where I'm at. Also I am a tuner with a dyno and can test things out. My car is a 7at which made 183kw at the wheels standard, I'm currently up to 221kw with my current bolt on parts and custom tuning. I will post up dyno graphs for each mod on Monday when I'm back at work. For all those that also think NA is a waste I have two turbos ready to go on in the near future but wanted to see what the gains were NA as starting point. Cheers dave
