How easy to get extra 30bhp?

I'm a newie (1st post) from the UK.

Looking at getting an 8 soon which i would like to mod as soon as possible. Just a couple of questions.

How easy is it to get an extra 30bhp from the car? What sort of gains from induction/CAI and exhaust?

Also I think the standard car looks a bit "soft", but there are some great bodykits available. Just wondering how good the fit and quality of different kits are, particularly like the ings kit.

Cheers

It is not that easy to get the power you want. Either add exhaust, intake, pullies, emanage, midpipe and with the right tuning for the emanage you may get the 30 bhp you want.

Or spend about the same money and get a greddy turbo kit tune it and be done with it.
(not including tuning)

I think you will be as quick by spending the wise money on brakes, strut & sway bars, suspension, and the flywheel.

I rather have the car that can go around than the car that cannot be stopped.
