Seriously learn to drive it first. This car will reward you with more joy on a twisty road than you think 158 HP could. Just adding a throttle cam on it will make it feel more responsive. A chip will gain you a few ponies and doing the cam offset key trick is as cheap as you can get. Forget the racy looking cone air filters that do away with the factory cold air set up and suck up hot engine compartment air actually taking away horsepower.

Suspend cap and install 951 underneath. That's funny!

Gawd, you want a money pit? Buy a 951, be prepared to be fine with them at stock performance and the associated maintenance. You want to go faster in a turbo? I bet the HP adding parts get about close to the "fix crap you broke" parts within a year.

#1 Driving a Porsche = expensive.

#2 Driving a Porsche and maintaining it properly = More expensive (but the best dollar for dollar)

#3 Driving a Porsche and wanting to GET FASTER = REALLY expensive.

#4 Driving a Porsche TURBO and wanting to GET FASTER = REALLY REALLY expensive.

#5 Racing a Porsche (besides 944 SPEC or such) = all in, life consuming money if you let it.

Just my personal experience, and I am stuck at #4. Unless I retrograde to the 944 SPEC level for real racing (which I do want to do...)

Porsche 944 N/A is a "Gateway Drug".
