Just wondering, not necessarily gonna go crazy, is there any way to get more power out of this? whether it be changing a pulley or changing out for a larger blower like the one used for the M3... im not looking to spend another 1000-2000bux for like 20hp(headers/cams). im pretty happy with the power my car has right now, but i was just curious.

Why not do headers and cams ? It would be more than 20hp.

I see your sig says manual tranny swapped... if you got the aa kit when you were auto, you can up the boost to the manual specs...

ive already got the kit @ 8psi lol. headers and cams together would be more than 20hp, but $1000 for headers, $1000 for cams, and another $1000minimum to install the two with cats just isnt worth it for 30-40hp. ive got much better things to spend $3000 on lol. 1000bux for 30-40hp by swapping out a pulley or blower would seem more appeasing to me. compositely, i dont want to do headers because my car is loud as is and the headers would make it obnoxious i think. people can already hear me blocks away lol

Alchohol Injection. Smaller Pulley. NOS mister. There are many things you can do. But with more power, comes more problems. Clutch/Tranny might need additional upgrades as well and you may even have to change your gearing.
When I had the AA kit on my 325ci @8psi, I was making 265rwhp so I was content. I dont know where you want to be at?

10-12 psi on good fuel with intercooler and proper mapping should'nt be any problems, exept what the added power could do :-)

I dont think the standard rotrex blower can handle anything over 8-9psi. :dunno:

LOL - I dont know what charger u use, but C-series is good for
1.5 bar without any issues. but of course - sizing has to be correct so
you don't over-revv it.

Several ways burst into sparkling in my brain~~
1. hearder
2. camshaft
3. manual if it was auto
4. exhaust
5. weight reduction-->carbon fiber hood, trunk....body kits and interiors.
6. performance rims and tires
7. nirous express
8. higher boost pressure with things to support that increased power
a. engine rebuilding
b. I think there must be something else, but have no idea. So it's my additional question.
:lmao:
