Let me first thank you for taking a look.

Anyways, a co-worker of mine notice me checking out this site and we got to talking about cars and such. He has an 03' Kia Rio (it gets better) with a 1.6L motor. He has asked me if there was a way to get better performance ie. turbo or supercharging. I told him I would look into it and came up with very little. What I'm asking this forum is if anyone has heard of something that would apply to my friends perdicament, please share the wealth. Links are very welcome. Thank you.

i dont know and doubt if these cars have any aftermarket support

a turbo or supercharger project would probably cost more than the car(dead serious on that)

I/H/E would be a waste of money

honestly he should save money and buy something thats a little more mod friendly

sorry i know thats not what you wanna hear but its the truth...there are just some cars that will get almost no gains from mods

for example the Z

i have seen people drop about 2k in N/A mods and gained probably no more than 20rwhp..not worth it imo
