Exhaust will make a good difference. Make sure you get a new dump to make the most of the new exhaust.

Cooler and a few more psi(if your motor is in good condition) will give u a few more ponies

Boost controller will let you increase the boost, you need a cooler for anything over 10 psi.

and dont even think of boost above 14.7psi ( 1 bar) with the stock computer as it has a fuel cut in place for good reason.

im happy with my stazza just want a bit more kick .. it probably has the same performance as a modern 6cyl ford or holden ...just want to give a V8 a run for its money

10 psi and 50 shot for cheap performance. Clutch slip will be just around the corner though!
