Or he could ask a community of people that own the car what they think works.

Chibi is right boost is the only really noticable thing if you are looking for that much power

Agree with them both. Look into a topswap for some fairly easy power or turbo kit if you're looking to spend a bit more.

I also agree. You need boost for noticeable power increase. Either a top swap (supercharger) or find a cheap used intercooled turbo kit... personally I like turbos more but its mostly preference.
