Swedish Dynamics/saabperformanceparts (possibly among other vendors?) used to have a section on NA improvements - may not be there anymore.
A few to several hundred $$ to get substantial perf gain with turbos; several hundred to thousands to maybe not even get the same gain with NA. I like my NA, tho (and also liked an 86 T that I had years ago)
Like other NAs, would have to get into head changes, poss block changes, port & polishing mani_s, valve grinds (reducing durability), camshaft & spring changes, enlarged throttle bodies, exhaust upgrades, etc. I don't know if some/any have truly been dynoed for NA c900 (with the understandable cost-effectiveness/perf gain yield and fervor for turbos, and their higher stock base output to boot!)
I'll be interested to see any exhaust responses - maybe should move over to the perf board. We've probably also noticed the same thing, btw: how effective the turbo unit is as a muffler. The NA is substantially louder, under acceleration, than the turbo. But is quiet at steady-state cruising
