theres quite a bit of things to do really depending on your budget and how far you want to go with it.

do a search for the 5s-fe and you can see all what there is from intakes, headers, exahust, turbos, superchargers

Exactly-depends on your budget. What are you willing to spend? As for bolt-ons, Ripp mods make superchargers for the 5sfe. But dont know if their still selling them anymore. Custom turbo, using the mr2 manifold and alot of other stuff. Check search or this link.http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t105924.html. But beware you will spend about 6-8k on this I believe if you have someone do it. Also their are some guys selling cold air intakes as I should say. Just look up TRP.

Your best bet for a reliable solution is to somehow locate a Rippmods S/C kit used/new w/e. THey may cost a penny, but are very well built.

I dont know if they have it anymore, but the Burien Toyota Tubo Kit is a choice as well.

You could make a custom turbo kit, but unless you have the tools/ skills necessary, it will cost you just as much as buying one.

The only way to make any numbers worth reporting on the toyota camry 4-cyls is forced induction.

Im just going to go with TRP's CAI when I recover after my paint costs >< , TRP headers, and some form of exhaust =p

There are ways around it, remapping the microsoft servers, stopping the service, using a firewall. But what I personally do is close my curtains, wrap my computer in tin foil and yell "BRING IT ON" over and over again. -Drunken_panda

i always say come to terms with the fact you drive a camry - so either sell it and get something fast or keep driving around wishing you were in a fast car
