increasing bhp

[Alfonze]

I dont want to spend that much to increase bhp, I have a air cone what else fairly cheap can I do? backbox etc?

Unfortunately tuning is usually a case of YGWYPF - i.e. you get what you pay for. Without forking out for a manifold, cams etc there is not much you can really do to see a noticeable improvement. Certainly a backbox and air filter alone on my car have not made much (if any) difference in the past. If there was a 'cheap fix' that would be great, so if you find one do let me know!

Full exhaust system, its the only first step. A backbox wont do anything on its own thats why you wanna get a janspeed manifold or similar.

Then get some bigger injectors and poss some cams and get Ed to tune that beast!

When you say 'Forced Induction' what do you mean? Turbo kit? Had cold air feeds on mine but didn't really see any real improvement.

I think he means more like RAMAIR and stuff like that, although I thought they were only effective at 80mph+
