quickest way? call JUN and have them send over a tech with armed with all their goodies. I'm guessing that if JUN isn't already busy, it would take roughly 1-2 months.

oh, and don't forget to buy some laxative for the money you'll have to !@#T to pay for it all.

200hp is not any easy thing to get...especially in a daily driver where reliability is an issue. there isn't a good way to do it inexpensively. and if you want to keep your warranty in any way, 200 is impossible. whatever you do, with 427hp in the stock motor you are risking breaking lots of stuff. and if you want to do internal work to strengthen it, then you are going to need lots of cash. Nitrous or a bigger turbo would be the 2 easiest ways. Nitrous would probably be the cheaper of the two but also the most risky. Goodluck!

You'd need a high HP turbo, such as a PE1820, SR-40 or SR-50, or even a T3/T4 hybrid turbo charger. Then you'd need all the supporting mods such as Turbo back exhaust, up pipe, intake, Front mount intercooler, bigger injectors and fuel pump, and most important, a tuned engine management system. Basically thats it in a nutshell. I'd also highly suggest some sort of suspension because your car will get pretty darn "floaty" at high speeds. Tein Flex coilovers and swaybars worked well for me. You are talking some serious cash outlay to do this work, good luck if you're serious.

oh also no matter what you do you will have a make the engine stronger anyway. you should also upgrade the tranny. i dont know what you have driven before and how much power it had but you should really be careful.
