Hi all! I'm new to this site and I had a few questions. I received a C70 for Christmas as a first car and I'm looking to upgrade it. I'm talking simple, minimal time stuff: ECU re-flash, air filter, maybe turbo, etc. I was hoping for some advice/pointers/suggestions. Any input is greatly appreciated!

That sounds pretty NON minimal to me lol...

ECU flash will crank up turbo pressure but it isn't cheap.
I think the stock air intakes is set up is pretty good as well.


Do some searches on this site and you will find what people are doing.

 

The car has a turbo on it from stock, just an fyi. Also, ecu flashes are not cheap, expect about $1k for one. You could get a K&N drop in filter for probably $30-40 from a parts store, so I'd start there if I were you. Congrats on the car, I love them!

 

Thanks for the feedback. Being a car guy, I wanted to know everything about the car after I got it, so I see that there's a turbo there, but I was wondering about upgrading the turbo. The air filter is a good idea, seeing as how K & N makes awesome stuff.

As for minimal time, I mean like a weekend or day. I know ECU flashes aren't cheap, but they're quick. Any suggestions/tips on either?
