Hey, I know this has been done a fair bit, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get a bit more go out of the EFI XF, without spending much money (I am on a real tight budget) I was thinking of hooking up some cold air induction to the airbox and getting extractors and an exhaust. Is there anything that could be of use in the wreckers such as bigger injectors or the like? Any other cheap/budget ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers, Gab

I'd go exhaust and extractors first. That should set you back at least 500 bucks. Then you can try different things like a bigger cam and some head work.

as xcabbi said go extractors and exhaust first, it seems most people do cat back exhaust then extractors but for the best results they are both needed.. as for CAI everything helps, so give it a shot, with a better flowing filter etc.. also try cleaning things like the throttle body, check all the leads and plugs for wear and tear and give her a good service.. every little bit helps, i know my car loves running on brand new oil,, maybe thats just me lol...
