i agree unless you got some serious money into the engine with high compression but then that wouldnt be considered bolt on anymore

exactly. Bolt ons are usually refered to as intake, header, exhaust, intake, intake mani and pullies. Do they respond? Yes. Do they respond well for the $ u spent on em.............not a chance.

i agree with pete. personally...im starting to get put out by people saying I/H/E is the best way to start when for the price youd spend on them you could get a good turbo setup.

With the correct selection in parts(not any of this mainstream bs) you can make a ok power jump with basic bolt ons, a cam, and a tune.

while that may be true, there is alot of hassle that can go along with boosting a stock NA car...

and knight, low 14s is decent for a basically stock 4 cylinder...or so i feel. id be happy if my dd ran low 14s...

I thought an RMF header was the way to go, apprently even better according to the guy who came on here a while back.

Yea thats a believable kill. Ive hung with stock 7th gen si's all the way up to about 110 mph by then its over. That race would definitley come down to driver. IMHO though I would boost an A3 long before any D-series. I think most of the7th Gen hate comes from Haters who wish they had a K. Oh well we all evolve at some point?

honestly i could care less if i had a a3. i just plain flat out dont like it or the car its in.

and i would deffinately boost a y8, z6, JDM d15b all over the A3.

now...the a2 is a differnt story. ive seen something where these guys strapped a supercharger on an RSX-S and tuned it and it was putting 320 to the wheels on 8psi from a roots-style blower and an otherwise stock engine.
