I plan on throwing the ultra ss pulley system on it shortly, I hope there will be a noticeable power gain there but i dont know. Anyone know anything about maxrev turbo kits? I was wondering where I would be sitting at horsepower wise if I bought one. Are there any other ways for power gain besides the turbo and engine swap? (I have a perfectly good motor with only 19000 miles.

you will not see/feel any noticable gain on just bolt-on mods. i dont care what anybody else say..... force induction, including nitrous is really the only way to go or a K-series swap. The D17 maxrev turbo kits i believe uses a T3/Super60 turbo. My favorite turbo for D-series street. The gain on any turbo systems relies upon tuning + boost level. A rule of thumb is 10 plus/minus 2 hp gain per 1 psi boost.
