Question Gain some HP?

Hey guys!
Im looking for some help, and advise on some future upgrades/mods to my B5. I am looking to do some more small upgrades for some increase in hp, without breaking the banks. I was hoping maybe some of you had some fun ideas =D. All current upgrades/mods are below.

Have you read the FAQ at the top of the forum?

If you have a stock cat, you can replace it with a high flow cat or a test pipe to pick up a few horsepower and slightly earlier spool.

You can upgrade your intercooler and piping, but if you go too big then you'll lose some pressure (but gain in the higher RPMs). The advantage here is that your IAT (intake air temperature) will be reduced so your engine can be more aggressive with the timing.

Other than that, you're essentially limited without spending larger amounts of money (turbo upgrade). Just make sure your car is running well, do a boost leak test to make sure your engine is getting everything out of your turbo, etc.
