Default Help!

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site.
I have a simple question for anyone to answer:
I have a 1999 S70 AWD with the GLT motor (2.4L I-5 w/ Low pressure Turbo). My car has some power but I want more so I can show the people with Audi's that there car isnt so much. I wanted to know what a some-what quick and lower priced upgrade is that I can get for my car. If anyone can give me any feedback it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Eurosport sells parts

Air intake system $
ECU Upgrade $$$
A boost controller, either electronic or manual. $
With the Boost Controller, you can turn up your boost pressure a few PSI, but keep in mind that you can't go crazy.

Thanks for replying. I was looking at Boost Controllers and will probably go with some type of manual boost controller that I found at hallmanboostcontroller.com. An ECU Upgrade is quite a bit of money, and I cant seem to find an Intake System, so if you know of any please send me the information. Thanks to all that helped.

Just us e a K&N panel filter in the stock airbox and put the extra money towards an ECU upgrade. There are several companies that will chip your car for $325 or so. www.upsolute.com http://www.speedtuningusa.com/ The chip will give you the best bang for your buck in terms of stright line acceleration

Using a manual boost controller, you can only up the boost a few psi before you get fuel cut.
