Re: Cheap H.P. upgrades???? My exhaust has already had a little work done to it. I was thinking about getting an off-road y-pipe, and adding a cut-out.
Then later long tube headers.

Re: Cheap H.P. upgrades???? Timing Tricker works great under 1 dollar and you WILL gain HP! I have 2002 TA also. You unplug the IAT sensor, near top of air box on driver side, and push a resister into socket on end of wire. I started with an 4.7k ohm, tells the computer the intake air temp is about 57 degrees. Now I use an 6k ohm = about 47 degrees. Like night and day, motor runs so much better! And you can put it all back the way it was in 10 seconds. 3520 ohm = 68 degrees 7280 = 41 go too much advance it will set off a knock sensor which will set itself back again when you put in about 5 gal of fuel. Do a search on Timing Tricker. I bought 5 resisters at Radio Shack for 99 cents!!

Re: Cheap H.P. upgrades???? The free ram air mod is cutting the bottom of your airbox intake hole bigger and under the airbox, there is a small slit that you can cut bigger to get more air. A ported Throttle Body is taking what is there and making the hole bigger, but I recomend buying one, you can easily mess up your throttle body by doing it yourself.

Re: Cheap H.P. upgrades???? no you still would want to replace the lid with an aftermarket one even after doing the free ram air mod...
i say buy a lid, catback, do all the free mods, and start pulling weight out
