Hi

If you don't want to go down the turbo or supercharger route these are probaly your best options...

Good stainless exhaust ( Piper, Magnex etc not powerflow or similar)

Exhaust manifold- ST170 manifold and Cat is the easiest way

Piper fast road cams

Engine management- If you run cams i am told Bluefin won't work correctly, so a custom map or Omex is you have lots of cash to burn!!!!

Induction- I kept the standard airbox on my 2.0L and put a K&N element in and made a custom cold air feed using a Pipercross 75mm hose kit, i think this helps stop heat soak, as you would get from a standard cone filter..

Throttle bodies- Expensive- but gives good results and what a sound....

Hi

Nah, Pipercross sell a Cold Air Feed Kit which comes with 75mm ducting, and luvres.

I cut the bottom of the airbox so the bigger airfeed would have no restriction. I put the intake behind the front grill between the raditor and bumper, mainly so it wasn't too ovious it was there...
