There are no "free" mods that are safe for your engine. You can gut the cat out of your uppipe, but you should buy new gaskets so its not technically free. You can remove the silencer on the intake duct, but it doesn't give you any more HP, just more noise.
Don't listen to anyone that tells you to disconnect any lines from the turbo, or replace any of them with larger lines. This will lead to boost spiking or a complete failure of the boost control system.
^^ Id take his advice....
+1 rather mod the right way then to take risks with the engine.

You can do the silencer ahck and hear the turbo spool and a little BOV sound. That's free.

Twisty Monster - 335 ft/lb of torque @ 3600 rpm on a stock turbo. Is that possible? Yes it is.
My favorite mod that I've done to my car is pretty much free. That is clearing out my headlights. I did however spend 5 bucks on some black engine enamel spray paint, so i guess it's not technically free, but close enough. Look at my avatar if you don't know what I'm talking about.

There are no free mods. If you just bought a 24,000 dollar car......why would you want to "rehook" some hoses and risk killing it when for 500-700 you can get an UP and a AP??
0-60 faster then your first sexual experience.

+1 for the headlight clearing. Even without the black paint it looks good!!!

Noob here- sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but what do you mean by "clearing out" your headlights? the headlights in your avatar look a little different, but I cant tell what was done.
Removing the orange dome over the turn signal light.
You could also debadge, that's free too.

He's got an 05, so I think the housings are already black-ish.
Free easy mod that drastically improves the looks of the car.
