OK guys, there's no need to get into a flaming war!

In my opinion (take it for what it's worth), one of the first cost-effective upgrades people do to their turbocharged engines (whether Porsche or Ricer) is to fit a free flowing intake/filter and up the boost slightly. These seem to be the cheapest mods one can do to squeeze out a few extra ponies.

For those of us who are cost conscious, try drilling the factory airbox with a few 2" holes and do a G-Tech (or dyno) run and observe results. If there aren't any major gains to be had there, then chances are that a K&N or Powerflo won't contribute that much more apart from a cool sounding induction noise

I guess it would be interesting to see back-to-back dyno comparisons.

The next stage would be a free flowing exhaust or muffler and then a larger more efficient turbo & intercooler.
