    For cheap mod, you can port your stock header which will give you some nice gain.

    Ok, since you're new to this, you're gonna want some bolt-ons which in short are parts that will literally pop on and off of your car with little or no modifications. These parts include: a short ram intake/cold air intake, header, axleback exhaust/catback exhaust, underdrive pulley(s) these might be more involved since you need to remove the drive belt, grounding kits (cable wire to help ground all the electrical components of the car thus increasing efficiency), and other parts. This is off the top of my head since you seem to only be interested in parts that will increase your power. These won't make your car super fast. It will only give it a few extra horses compared to forced induction, such as a turbocharger or supercharger. But all in all, its not just all about power as it is also important for your car to handle and perform well in the corners and on those windy roads. You might want to consider some suspension components such as: strut assemblies, springs, coilovers, full replacement coilover assemblies (these are one piece which include strut and spring already and are a direct bolt-on), strut bars, sway bars, among others. Well these are just a few suggestions. Have fun with your Corolla and good luck!

    Good post rollatuner110!
    Those are pretty much you can do to the rolla for bolt on matty10354. Some are really expensive and some are cheap. It all depends on how deep your pocket is.
