    Budget NA build

    90% of any gain is going to be the exhaust, the Toyota Iron Header isn't a bad piece. My car back when it was NA picked up a goodly chunk of power and midrange torque when I put the bigger exhaust on it with the stock header, just couldn't put up with the bark from the exhaust.

    Rear suspension noise + jumps/skips over bumps

    There is a spherical ball bush in the rear upright, if the bolts are tightened without the cars weight on the suspension it will destroy itself. Jack the car up under the rear upright so the cars weight is on the suspension then grab a rear wheel and see if it will wiggle/move at all.
