I haven't searched but is there a Turbo upgrade for the a 535? I'm assuming fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, etc would all have to be upgraded to accommodate the bigger Turbo? And how will the stock internals handle the extra power before u start bending rods?
Actually if you compare baseline dyno and mod dyno for let say JB4 and Downpipe alone it could look like 265whp base and 295whp after mods which is 30whp for around 1000$. To me this is very good but past that the $ to HP ratio is VERY bad.

On this car Exhaust on top of a downpipe do not add much.
Charge pipe is for reliability (let's see how long my stocker work)
Intake could net you 5 peak hp more if you are lucky but it could even be 0.


You can research for Pure Stage 1 (1000$ + 10h install) that I am pretty sure can fit our car and be tunable with JB4 map 6.
