I'll say straight out, I'm a complete and utter newbie about cars and modding. But I loved my 92 Celica ST, so when the time came to get a new car, I went out and found a '99 Celica GT. I've only had it about 2 weeks now, but completely love it.

But I know from my research that due to CA emission laws, a lot of these had their HP dropped from 135 to 130. My car was originally a leased vehical in CA. I reside in GA though so I don't particularily care about CA laws smile.gif

Is there any easy way to get the HP back to the original 135, or am I going to be in for some heavy work to get it done? Is it even worth worrying about? How can I check to see where its at now?

Sorry for the horde of questions, but this one's been eating at me for some reason.

you will need an ECU reprogramming.

just go ahead and get some basic bolt ons. that will gain some power.

You can go to a salvage yard, and try and pull an ECU from a celi, not sure how much this would cost but that would get you back to original, non CA, specs. I am not sure if it would be worth it cost wise however.

What kind of shops would have the capability of doing this, if I did try to go forward with it? Or is that part of the problem, no one does it?
