I am thinking there are tons of sarcastic recommendations for the OP.

Cardboard Rocket Bunny kit +50 WHP. Add a rice cooker to the intake

Previous poster, I one up your idea using a central vac. No more old school upright Hoover, that was so last week.

Lmao, remember people, always empty the bag before installation!

Ugh. Where were you that day? Could've saved a lot of heartache.

Back to the OP, in your price range probably the single best thing you can do is to install a Unichip on it. I have one, and although I haven't had it on a dyno, my impression is that there is a noticeable gain in HP and torque. The torque dip is not nearly as noticeable as it was before the Unichip.

Get the open flash tablet ecu mod. Nothing else will give you the same results for 495.

I agree with this. It's hands down the best power upgrade you can do for under $500. It's easy to install, invisible for warranty work and you can update maps for future mods for free. The increase in midrange torque is very noticable and the engine has raspy growl to it now. If you have a few extra bucks add a drop in air filter to complete the set up.

I mean, you wont get massive gains but...

Let me make it simple for you. If you want just HP review the forced induction section and read up on the electric supercharger, $1,700 estimated pricing for the kit. Currently, I am one a 3 US testers and below is my dyno of unit performed by Drift Office.

When you say invisible to warranty I'm guessing you flash it back to stock when you send it in for work?

Correct. This is from the Vishnu OFT product page:

"Is a flash from this device detectable by the dealership?
Each modified ROM file is based upon the original ROM. In this ROM file, you have all the mapping data and the software ID data. Typically, you will only ever want to modify the mapping data. Which means the software IDs will be untouched and stock-looking upon basic inspection. However, it is possible for the dealership to conduct a more thorough inspection of the DME code. Which is why we recommend flashing the original ROM file back into the DME at your own discretion."
