How do i increase horsepower/torque on my S70?

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

I'm not saying this is a good idea but the e-ram electric supercharger is something that actually works. It seems good for teeny engines that it can provide more air than the intake can pull on it's own. Apparently the Toyota Echo is a good candidate for it.

It is controlled with a switch on the accelerator and is only on at WOT.

Hahaha, yeah i hate those fricken pre-pubescent POS Civic drivers. I race em all the time at stop lights and kick they're a$$ and they get mad cause a granny car creamed em. But any ways, i get about 16 to 21 in my auto, all in how i drive it. So phils95850, those chips are for 850s, not s70s, or is it one in the same? And tjts1, how would i go about doing that for low end torque? And what are the repercussions if any? And e-supercharges? Where could i get some good info on em?

Here is another one for $2000.... you need 4 car batteries for a power source so kiss any gains goodbye with an extra couple hundred pounds of weight dragging the car down... http://www.boosthead.com/ ...........but they claim 20psi max

Or I suppose you could sell your car and buy a turboed car, which would be a lot less work.
