First off, you need to let us know what engine you have, either the 1.8L, or the crappy *** 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..

1.5L swap

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

Nitrious

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