Hello, I just decided not to get the body kit on my car which will save me a lot of money, does anyone know of some cheaper mods before i turbo the car next summer. Anything I can do right now to gain some HP, without removing stuff like door panels seats, etc.?

uh, removing stuff wont get you HP. there isnt much you can do to the car that will be useful when you turbo. electric fans and maybe an underdrive pulley. other than that, most will be useless. like AZ said, tune ups help too. change the oil, and get some plugs for turbo applications.

Get rid of your power steering. You really don't need it. I actually like it more without the power steering.

I like no power steering too. People complain it's too hard to turn, but it's not. They're just wusses. Better feel for the road without it.
