you can generally get a "tuner" kit for $4200. its about $5000 with a tune.

with that kit you're looking at 250rhp

i had an exhaust and we maxed out the fuel pump on the dyno at 260rhp.

throw in a fuel pump, and aftermarket injectors to get the most out of it.

if you want a little more, you'll need a smaller pulley.

for even more, E85

thats been my experience. i currently have everything but E85 and she's a blast to drive. its great for DD and having fun on the way to work or taking a spirited cruise.

why do you have to be an asshole. i had no clue how boost works when i first got my car. i started asking questions and reading up on the forums. i have a basic idea now and pushing 14psi. however im no where near an expert and im still learning every day.

we are here to help each other out, not bash.
