I love the way my celi looks but i'm a bit disappointed in the 5sfe's acceleration its just not as aggresive as its body style. I'm not looking for a drag strip car and i dont have the need to race people i just wanna pull off a stop light a lil faster what can i do to get a stock 5sfe to pull a bit better off the line, could care less about top end if you see me doing over 70 its rare. i know i can boost it read alot on bolt on chargers, but i really didnt want to go $2000+ what can i do on a $500-$1000 budget to get a lil more pull

go to ebay, buy a $600 kit, comes with EVERYTHING...yea some of it is trash and i wouldnt use it such as the bov, catch can and other little stuff, but what you will get that you CAN use is the turbo, intercooler, pipeing, turbo timer, manual boost controler, electric fans, and other stuff. Take the extra $400 you have left over and buy your manifold, oil pan, safc, wideband, etc.

if i was given $1200 and a 6th gen, i could have it boosted and running reliably, its just a matter of knowing whats trash, what can be used efficently, and how to tune it correctly in order to get the best, most reliable performance out of it.

It CAN be done on a budget, but most of the time this budget fits in with people that dont know much of what they are doing, and end up blowing their engine, and $1200 in the hole.
