make it faster. Could yall gimme some ideas on
going about doing this? As you can see, I am not a
car expert. That is why I am here. If enyone knows
enything please let me know.

First off, you need to let us know what engine you have, either the 1.8L, or the crappy ass 1.5L.... And before you start doing anything to your car you wanna take it to a "Garage" and get a good tune up.......

I have the 1.5L and there isin't much unless you get everything custom done, the only HP increasing aftermarket parts I know of for the 1.5 are intakes, and exhaust.....

If it's a 1.8L some1 else can help you there, but there's a whole lotta stuff for that engine, even a turbo kit..

It's a 1.5. Yeah, it is kinda slow.

not much out there for a 1.5L...

1.5L swap
 
Can't you swap a 1.8L in the 1.5? then do the turbo kits and stuff? is that possible?

a 50 shot won't damage the engine at all? what kinda boost are you looking at? would it work in an automatic car?
