Whats the next step in getting more power from my 16v? It already has a 2.0 bottom end. K&N pannel filter and full ss exhaust. Can you chip them? P.S What sort of bhp should i have already?

id estimate your bhp should be around the 160 mark.

16vs cannot be chipped AFAIK.

next step would be for a ported and polished head :)
get the full k&n induction kit should make a significant diffrence in throttle response.

y not turbo it? ???

Has the car been setup on a rolling road by an experienced technician, if not go that route first, after that it's head work that will produce good gains....
