Another Versus battle

I know this has probably been asked before. But Which is would be better for my car setup i want more horses so i think i am going to to get a different air induction setup. Either a cold air intake or short which would be better?? i have a 2.2 i wanna say base coupe it does not say lt or ls on the back of my vehicle i just put amerilite iridium plugs in it and thinking about putting in a pulley system but not sure if i wanna turbocharge it. !. becuase of price found them pretty cheap but dont know if i wanna drop that kind of cash yet. plus if i am correct my mpg will go down even though i am getting 33.4 right now. so can i get some advice please??

If you want a real boost in power, save up for the turbo and forget about all the standard bolt ons for now. You will only yield about 20whp with full bolt ons anyways.

i love my cold air intake

when driving the IAT is roughly ambient temp.

When heat soaked it's 105, is that hot or just me?
