simple bolt ons, CAI w/box, downpipe, pcm, smaller pulley. depends on your cash limit, these cars are capable of more than you can imagine.

In order:
3" downpipe with a u-bend delete
FWI or CAI
plugs and 180tstat
PCM

Once you get that done, smaller pulley will bring it all together nicely.

This is the place to be...

Whats your budget lookin like?

I guess I'll go ahead and start with the most important thing:
If you plan on modding for performance, you need to get a scanner tool. These will tell you how your engine is running and responding to modifications. Without it, you could be headed the wrong direction and its easy to blow your engine. Most importantly for modding, you need to monitor 'knock retard' (KR) with the scanner, which you can find more info on all over.

Basically before you go increasing your boost with a smaller pulley, you need the supporting mods that have already been listed to get the exhaust out easier, fresh air in better, and keep things cooler.

Enjoy
