[QUOTE="Muffins, post: 2542013, member: 28510"] Hey guys, long time lurker here. Just wanted to seek some advice from the sifu's and the otai's. I drive an ancient (think 12yrs) old Wira Aeroback 1.5 Auto. Fuel injection, supposedly UK export version. I been quietly modding it over the years since I got my grubby hands on it and I'm finally more or less done with the exterior and want to move on to the engine (woot!) So far I've done : K&N Open pod filter Slightly larger throttle body (ex-mechanic did this. I didn't even ask for it heh) Slightly larger exhaust piping system. (Cannot remember the diameter but it's not a straight thru piping, it follows the original line) Center bullet and sports muffler. (Vroom rumble rumble like lorry ikan :proud: ) Aaannndd thats about it. Current main concern is the (obvious) lack of power in the car. So my question is this : What other stuff can I do to increase overall power? (by power I mean acceleration. I want the car to move when I tap the gas, not grunt at me and crawl) I've been toying with the idea of getting the Powerzone Extractor mod done. This any good? What about engine management options? I've seen brand names being thrown about, eManage la, Unichip la, Haltech, Motec, whatevertech etc.. Is it something I should look into or it's something that won't matter in my stock engine? Are bolt-on turbos an option or is it a waste of time and money? Any advice/feedback or suggestions welcome. I'm nervous about this. Haven't modded an engine before :) [/QUOTE]
