Free mod are just something that you don't have to buy and can do it yourself with little or no cost.

some samples of free mods are:
port and polish your Throttle Body.
Bypass the Throttle Body hot water lines,
removing your egr and air system,
De-screening your MAF.

Some freebies you are better off not taking. Just a
