I decided to keep my low milage, great shape 2006 Taco after checking out the 2016.

It's a 4x2, has a 4 cylinder engine and a 5 speed. I considered swapping the engine for a V8 but I'm sure the weight difference would destroy the handling. I won't beat on it but would like better performance.

Would a header be a good starting point?

How about a cold air intake?

How about a turbo and an after market ECU? Can anyone recommend a kit for the 4 cylinder?
