Default i need YOUR input.

i have a DC sport exhaust, and a Injen cold air intake. im wanting more power and i hear that the turbos are just bad news.. so i was thinking about getting one of those "cyclone" insert type things that go in-line with your intake, what do you think?. also im thinking about a chip or piggy back, anyone have any recommendations or know where to get the best chip for a low price? im in the air force, and by watching the news, you know times are hard for my kind right now haha so low price is good but not essential.
Thanks for the help everyone!

Turbos are bad news? Boost is the only way to go if you are looking for power in the tc. Build a kit yourself and tune it at a low, safe psi and keep everything maintained you shouldnt run into many problems and still be able to get a decent gain in hp.

First off this is for an Xa. Those cyclone things are just junk that companies peddle to screw people over. Same thing with those "chips." Simplytc is correct about the only real way to make noticeable power is to turbo. It can be done reliably, but it's going to cost a pretty penny. Also a piggy-back is only useful really if you're turboed.
