Turbo? Exhaust (won't really be performance more sound), not too many options for a 2.3

intake mods are always good...

but with the 2.3 all I can suggest is clean parts..? I mean intake and sensors and injectors to squeeze every last drop of power out...idk anything else except serious upgrades (v8) lol

Turbo is the only option for that motor. Or put in a V8.

i was kinda joking bout the v8, but heres a link to TRS about the turbo. this is something i'd love to do in the future. pick up a single cab 2.3 and drop it 3/4
