| 08' xB engine upgrades
this will sound like a dumb question, but.....
What kinds of things can I do to upgrade my xB's preformance. Im not willing to spend to much money, like 500 max.
thanks for any help anyone can give me. |

AFE Intake and Borla single exhaust would leave $150 left under budget. | |

Tenzo CAI would only run 150. Can not offer more yet as have not installed but in the garage!
Just that Tenzo is decent name with reasonable price thats all I am saying here!! | |

You can do lightweight pullies, intake, exhaust. Or you can always find a used Nitrous kit for around 500 dollars. | |

Well there is alot you can do. Intake, exhaust, Pulleys, header. Kinda endless really. Intake and exhaust will make the biggest difference. Then add the header and you will be happy I am sure. | |

What do you think some good upgrades would be for the xb2 without losing my 100k warranty? | |

I just added an injen cold air and I saw a big increase in throttle response. I also found good reviews on the Tsudo exhaust which is next. Where did you all find the nitrous kits for that price? | |
