I'm starting to look into improvements I can make. I'm not on a mechanic level and have only done minor work under the hood before. I've looked at both turbos and superchargers and both are out of my price range at the moment so I'm looking for other things a bit more affordable to do for improvements.
I have cosmetic changes I'm looking at but I'm not quite sure where to start for mechanical upgrades. I've read, dont remembr where, but that cold air intake isnt that much of an upgrade. Been thinking on exhaust as well but not really sure what I would go with for it. Basically asking for a little direction as to how I can go about getting a little more out of my car at an affordable cost.
btw, driving a 06 Corolla S, automatic
Thanks in advance.

Well what is it exactly u looking for? If u just want a lil more pep than I would get some headers, cai, and an exhaust. That's pretty much the starting point for everyone. As for turbos since ur pockets aren't deep like mine keep ur eyes out for a rebuilt turbo off a Volvo or something similar. I would just go with the headers, cai, exhaust see how u like it and go from there.

You can do a Volvo turbo or a mx6 something small do go bigger then a 40 trim otherwise you'll have space issues like me but the smaller turbos are just as good its not about size its about efficiency but a good start is bore out the intake headed and exhaust
