Good luck, other than a SC there doesn't appear to be any engine upgrades at all for a NA car. All other HP enhancements seem to be smoke and mirrors. Maybe somebody else can chime in.

You can get a lil' out of an exhuast, headers and chip... A good deal out of cams thought.

Im trying to leave it alone , I swear I am ....
I think the x51 has a more aggresive cam and the head work... Not sure about the ECU, what changes there are vs. the stock 3.6
I dont want a SC, I would rather just sell it and get a TT by the time I am done it would be cheaper.... the problems we create for ourselves in life...


I just can't stand it anymore , after having the turbo.... it kills me to have to downshift to get any power, it's crazy man..... I miss my TT

Come have Kirby give you a ride in the 3.6L blower... it's fun but I do feel your pain man

You could do cams or something. A chip might get you 18HP....

Put a suspension in the car so you can use what's already there.

Todd and the installer figure close to 495.

320 stock plus 25 for the X51 plus 150 for the SC

I have not had the car on a dyno...
