Without going down the 24v route, I don’t think there are many performance mods for the 16v. You could chuck an exhaust and CAI on and maybe gain a few extra HP. It probably wouldn’t be worth the costs, but I think I’ve heard of one person putting a turbo on the 16v.

Yh gonna go down the turbo route eventually definitely, new exhaust system i have already just waiting on my stainless steel downpipe and 4-2-1 manifold, cold air intake is already on aswell, just trying to find out the right ecu and fuel injectors to get for the turbo, any ideas what upgraded fuel injectors will fit?

I presume I can share this :?: this is a link to the probe talks site about turbos on the 16v. They mention some injectors on there.

Just remember that the topic on the Probetalk forum is nearly 20 years old, so the availability of items may be less and the costs greatly increased :o
