    There is no FREE horsepower. You could block off the wastgate vacuum line and allow the turbo to spin faster, but then your turbo would blow.
    If gains in BHP were free and had no drivetrain ramifications, we would all be going faster.

      What upgrades have you done? Gains in HP are directly proportional to cost. Maybe start with the lower priced upgrades and see how you feel.
