Hey,

What do you engine guys recommend as the best "non mechanic" mods for more power and performance. I don't want to do anything that requires a rebuild---just looking for quick "bolt-on" mods that are proven and easy.

I was hoping for a chip tuning solution like I did in our Turbo Beetle but that doesn't look possible.

Any others?

Not a lot of bolt ons give out much power, but you can go with the intake/header/exhaust option, and swap those three, and expect to see maybe 10hp max combined from all three (maybe more for the element, not sure) Turbos aren't super complex to install, or a supercharger, but both of those will leave you having to alter the mechanical complex of the engine and computer.

Do they make stiffer engine and trans mounts for E's? If so, I'd get those first. If not, I/H/E is the best and safest way to go.

An EOC sticker adds 5 Hp!

EOC Sticker + STP Sticker = 15 additional horsepower!

there is an engine damper that helps stop the wheels from chattering...

also, the ebay chip is the best ;-)
