Iso-thermal upgrade ~50 (Motordyne website)
Polished MREV2 ~300 (RebelinRI private sale, last of his polished plenums)

Sept mods:
UpRev's Osiris ~700 (www.uprev.com)
XO2 Exhaust ~600 (vendor on here)


Have a few more things up my sleeve but those are what I would start with.

My point e x a c t l y

App6MT just spent $2365 on NA mods.
There is a Procharger in the FI Private classifieds for $2700.

BTW- App6MT, I am not hating on you, just making a point.









To each their own.

whatever, to do FI RIGHT (with used parts even)...you're looking at as least 6k. With brand new parts and depending on what power levels you want...10-25k! NA is MUCH cheaper.

just go F/I, I had nismo intake for maybe 500 miles (2000 on car at this point) and ordered supercharger. Bolt-on's and N/A upgrades get real costly with little difference.

I understand. I also plan on going FI. But I've been looking at the STS rear mount kit.

So other than the CAI and XO2 exhaust, I can use everything else I bought to help with gains.

And you can't find a FI kit for the Rev-Up motors that is 2700

if you ONLY plan on spending 1k, then get a used spacer and a decent exhaust (nismo if you want it to sound good). Drop in a k&n if you want. If you have a revup motor, you will want to get the mrev2 along with the spacer. Get a cheap piggy back or reflash later, and you'll feel a difference.

if you are going to spend much more than this, just get a prochorager/vortech kit used, and don't worry about exhaust or any thing else. bam, 330whp.

Don't waste your money on NA crap for this car if you want power. The only reason I have exhaust/spacer is that I'll be able to use with my supercharger and I needed something to tide me over for a while.

cai ftl, i hate mine. I'm taking it off, it doesn't do anything and sounds ricey.
