Hello guys new member here just seeking some input in a field I don't have much experience in yet but hope the veterans of this forum can help me along the way.
Basically I'm hoping to turn my already audio tricked out ford focus wagon into a small sleeper wagon (Not sure on going too crazy price wise already dumped $3,500 into audio equipment alone this year) But want a little more pep then the just over 100hp the zetec DOHC motor in this wagon provides.
So on a small-mild performance budget in order how should I proceed to increasing performance all I've done is replace the drop in air filter with a K&N (not very noticeable difference alone) and that's really about it for performance.
Besides the budget being small-middle area (not wanting to go with $5,000+ turbo kits etc. but a few $300-$400 modifications more or less to get a little extra kick) The 2nd problem is that the wagon has 171,000 miles on it after owning it the past 2 years so I'd hate to dump alot of money into the engine for it to just blow up (worst case) but for now the whole car is in 100% working order with no issues well kept up.
Thanks for any input and advice.
