most likely. . .
headers, full exhaust, lid, intake manifold, throttle body, underdrive pully, all the free mods, and a tune
anything that doesn't require you to pull the heads off or the front cover(internals of the motor).
don't forget how much upgraded suspension helps put what power you do have at the wheels. you can upgrade the suspension all you want and can still say its a bolt-on car
hope that helped

do you have a FTRA intake yet? also if your car is an auto, a torque converter and shift kit are considered bolt ons too. Gears are lumped in the bolt on category even though they are a little more than a bolt on mod.

Fully bolted car does not require every bolt on IMO.
Should have lid, IM(ls6), UDP, LT headers, cat-back, sfcs, LCAs and a stall if A4.
EWP is overated IMO. A good mod to polish off a great setup, but not one of the first modifications that should be done by any means.

I almost put that down, but I wouldn't recommend anyone swaping out the stock gears. If you want a steeper gear ratio, get a 9" or 12 bolt. Otherwise you are just droping money into a sinking ship.

I guess it's kinda subjective. But the bottom line is pretty much everything you can do without cracking open the engine.
I consider my car nearly full-bolton. The only thing I don't have is an EWP, which I don't plan to do.
My Take:
Full exhaust:
- Headers
- Off road Y or lead pipes, OR high flow cats
- cat back
Full induction:
- CAI or lid
- MAF (somewhat subjective, it is a bolt-on but most won't do it)
- Bellows area (cars with the 90 degree bend (gto, cts-v) really need to address this more than you guys with the straight back configuration)
- Ported of upgraded TB
- Upgraded intake manifold
Accessories area
- Under Drive Harmonic Balancer
- Electric Water Pump
Tune
