    Get it all serviced first make sure everything is running as it should. Go for CAI ( Cold air Intake) get them from Holden for around 50 odd dollars, no big gains but will help overall. To complement this buy a Hi Flow Air filter such as K & N either a pod or panel will do, personal choice that one.

    Didnt Holden Vn/ps come with stock 2/14 echaust?? Mine is running a 2.5 inch with Extractors which makes it breath better and sounds tougher than stock, some people prefer the 2/14 once again personal choice

    Bigger throttle body 70mm?? not sure as i havent done this mod yet but it would be a simple bolt on procedure i assume..

    They are all resonable cheap mods to begin with

    yep thats it, and go from there. but it would be a wise move to start saving a bit of money then later you can do some real good mods worth your money, like the diff and cam etc etc
