Default Re: horsepower

Put the car on a diet, and put the driver through some Driver Education sessions on a track, with an intructor.

There is no cheap power for the 90q20v or CQ 20v.

Either gotta spend the money on the 7A engine, or swap in a turbo engine to get anything worth while.

Default Not for cheap

As just previously mentioned, there is no cheap way of doing it.

You CAN do it, but not for cheap.

2 questions.. how much money do you want to spend, and how much HP do you want?

Default Engine swap is the only way to go...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19815/20vturbo.jpg"></center><p>Far from simple, not cheap either. I was able to do it for just about $3500 total, and I got a crazy deal on the engine. 10vt can be had cheap, 20vt (like mine) are rare and you have to search for a good deal on one.
