Replace and Repair Maintenance, a.k.a R&R Maintenance, a.k.a Corrective Maintenance. Also Preventative Maintenance. Although those may not be the best bang for the buck upgrades, in my humble opinion, that's the best place to start.

I think the best "bang for the buck" HP adder for any car is Nitrous Oxide. The other would be upgrading the exhaust starting with the Turbo Exhaust Elbow --> all the way down to the exhaust tip.

i would go with upgrading the exhaust first...from teh downpipe, the cat, and finally the muffler, also i would replace the intake...go with either a short ram or a custom cai...i went with a custom cai, these will pretty much increase the flow into and out of hte motor, then if you want..go nitrous...but i would save my money for something more permanent than a couple shots of laughing gas

I put a Lexus AFM in my 89 7MGTE and its ran like hot stinky gasoline soaked ass. Stutering and almost stalling on the line, smelled like i was pumping straight gas out the tail pipe. Now lets not forget that when i stepped on it it F*****' flew but i was getting around 10 miles to the gallon. Needless to say i pulled it. But maybe i bought a bunk Lexus one. It was for a V8 LS400. Is that what you guys have heard to drop in?
