Let`s see . . . The exhaust bits were around $1k (that could have been cheaper, but I bought exhaust a little bit at a time instead of a complete 3" turbo-back at once) Turbo and injectors and fuel pump (forgot the pump in the original mod list) were around $1k, tuning package around $700 total (AccessPort, then upgraded to StreetTuner). Add in a few other little things, and it`s probably around $3000 in power mods.



It`s a far cry from the "old" days (early `90s) in my first generation DSM. A few ghetto hacks, an open exhaust, and a bleeder valve got you close to 12`s in the 1/4 (although you`d be needing a new clutch shortly after the cheap mods). OBD-I was so much easier (cheaper!) to fiddle with. Any more it seems like the OBD-II ECUs do their very best to keep you from making more power.



Still, I`d rather hack my car with a laptop than revert the old days of re-jetting carbs.
