Default Looking to boost up my torque and horsepower

I've heard that getting a chip will increase my torque and horsepower but, i want to know some alternative parts that may increase those two. As of right now i have megan headers, greddy exhaust evo2, and an injen short ram air intake. Eventually i plan on getting a turbo or supercharge but as of right now i just want some affordable parts. Suggestions?

you already have headers, intake, and exhaust. thats about all the bolt ons possible for hp/torque (and aren't worth it besides sound) for the $ to hp ratio and looks.

at this point its just turbo / supercharger.

or you can get those money back guaranteed where they claim to increase horsepower AND gas mileage eBay chips

Get as many stickers as you can, and fill it on every panel of your car until you see no paint left.

Get cams a cam gear and a standalone. All three will add performance and be beneficial once you go turbo. My only other guess would be you where referring to a Apexi afcII or Apexi Neo. They both help with A/F tuning and if im not mistaken will net you a few extra horse power. But they can be viewed as a wast of money. A standalone would be best. If your referring to some random JET chip..haaaa im surprised you got some far into building your car to actually think about that junk..stay away. If it sounds to good to be true..well it is lol
