Well, The SOCH only has 88HP, and The Cheapest thing for alittle HP Gain is a Cool air intake system, but You're lookin' about $70-$150 For it. There is no such thing as a Cheap way to give a Engine more HP, everything is expensive [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

ya i'd say intake.....other cheap things like a short shifter and strut bar are like 60 bucks.....I'd say put an intake, and a short shifter then save your money for a swap...

if you're going to go through the ordeal of a motor swap, don't do it with another underpowerd motor. go with the b6t or bpt. just my personal opinion.

I was talking about a Cool Air Intake, with the crome Piping, not just the filter, and where did you get your MAFS?

if you look closely, you'll see the ram-air piping from under my car to the intake. it works just as good as any COLD air intake.
