when you say start with a K&N are there better ones? I was thinking of doing a intake, headers and exhaust because from what i have been told anything past that is going to cost some serious money. I would rather just sell it and buy a turbo before spending the 20k the are talking about. Do you know of any other simple things to do to maximize the horsepower?

We use EvoMS cold air intakes and fabspeed muffler systems on the 996's. That with a flash of the ecu (reprogramming) is about all you can do for the car hp wise. I have installed dozens of our supercharger kits on the 996's, which makes the car a lot of fun to drive, but you are looking in the neighborhood of 11-12k by the time it is all said and done.
