Start on the intake pod air filters are really not that much and makeing a cold airbox is easy you will notice it will give the engine more power and make it rev a little bit harder. <IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"></P>

<FONT size=2>i don't know if cold air would be good or not? I live in mississippi and its really humid down here. would that matter at all? and i have went on ebay and seen these chips that supposedly add 10 to 20 hp to your car, i think its just a rip off. what du u think? andthe chipdoestn't deal with turbo at all.<IMG src=smileys/smiley24.gif border="0"></FONT></P>

Go with the cold air intake. The humidity won't bother the engine at all. As a matter of fact, Combustion engines are just water factories. In a perfect situation the engine takes in air and gasoline, and then combines them to create water and carbon dioxide. However, because this isn't a perfect world, and the affordable gasoline weuse has impurities, it also creates Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxides, and so on. That wasprolly more than you want to know, but i might as well say it. Anyways, those chips do not work at all.Got with the cold air intake.It may add about 3-5hp peak, but thethe max gain may be more like 5-7hp. You'll feel the difference. You can also get Tower bars, they're cheap and will help the car handle slightly better. Also, if you have a manual transmission, you would also want to invest in a short throw shifter. All of these mods may not make the car too much faster, but it will definitely make the car a lot more fun to drive.

I have purchased both mods spyderGS mentioned (intake and strut brace). both work well word to the wise if you have a/t get the intake that has an intake pipe not just the adapter and filter (stock pipe not strong enough to support new filter)
