If you want faster accelleration, the cheapest and easiest way is to increase the power to weight ratio - not by increasing the power, but by lowering the weight. Start pulling anything that isn't essential out of your car and tossing it. First step is those heavy, heavy Aero seats which you can toss into my back yard (for use in my CS car, I'll give you my lightweight seats in exchange). Next is to switch to lighter 15-inch wheels/tires, which actually weigh less than the 16-inch Aero wheels/tires. H-K component sound system: out, replace it with a 1-DIN unit radio, or eliminate it alltogether. Interior door panels, who needs 'em? A/C condensor, out - gets in the way of the airflow over the intercooler. Cost for all of these mods is $0. - LOL!
On a more serious note, you may have better response to this on the "Performance" board. Frequent suggestions are the T-Boost5, MBC, larger downpipe/exhaust, reprogrammed ECUs, etc.
