anyone know what else i could do for cheap, like free mods ranging from apperence to adding a little hp here and there. Or is there any porting i could do, maybe to the throtle body or something, thanks

 

Seek and ye shall find!

 

The best one is probably the TB bypass. But yeah, a search will be the best bet. I wouldn't descreen the MAF though. There is a reason they put that there, and you probably won't see a HP diff.

 

The MAF descreen seems to be a hit or miss thing for some reason. I took mine off and noticed absolutely no problems. I sure don't want it on there if I don't need it. My gas milage has always been great and the engine has always run smooth.

One thing that made a huge difference for how smooth my engine ran was cleaning the MAF elements. Take the MAF sensor out of the car and spray electrical cleaner on the elements. I then VERY CAREFULLY AND GENTLY wiped the sensors in the MAF cleaning all surfaces. After that, the engine ran smoother than I could ever remember. I tried it again a few thousand miles after I did it the first time, but it didn't make the same improvement. It must have been very dirty the first time. (I hadn't cleaned it in about 55k miles)

Some people have had problems though.

I will second that BIG TIME. It sounded stupid when I first heard it, but I was bored over a weekend, decided to spend 2 mins cleaning the MAF elements and it was an unbelievable difference. Mine was never done and I think thats when you'll feel it the most.
