What kind of perf upgrades canI do without braking my bank acct and pissing off my wife...Try to buy an authentic brand BOV and not a knockoff. They tend to leak and not perform well.If you buy a BOV you should get a blanking plate to block off the CBV.Some brands that are recommended that members have had success with are HKS, Turbosmart and Greddy. Also TurboXS (but I have heard they tend to leak).The best bang for buck upgrade will be a chip/ecu tune.The following sites do ECU tuning. Look around on this site and on the following links, and also, try to search, because this questions has been answered about 1283290849023849023 times.www.speedtuningusa.comwww.vivaperformance.comwww.eurosporttuning.comwww.ipdusa.comwww.stylinmotors.comwww.quickbrickmotorsports.comAlso look for:InmotionUpsoluteMake sure you complete stage 0 maintenance and get a boost gauge before you start messing with the engine.a good site for gauges is:www.egauges.comgauge pods can be found @:www.gaugepods.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGreenSwedeMachine Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Chip and exhaust are best bang for your buck.Edit: Oreo beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
