| A good induction kit/panel filter is a good starting point. Then a nice exhaust system would be next on the list. Helping the car breathe better, getting the air in and exhaust gasses out.
Then would be changing standard turbos, injectors, ECUmapping etc ...
NOTHING power wise is cheap, buy sensible, buy second hadn and it'll keep the costs down, plenty second hand stuff out there. | |

| The best way to get the performance gains out of the engine adn the modifications you have is to get them all working together and tell the ECU exactly whats happening, this is in the form of a mapping session. You may need a ESL board or SIMTEK ecu, | |

| If it were mine I would fit a VF22-23-28-29-30-34-35 or 16g and a walbro pump, get it mapped by Andy Forrest and you will have the wow factor back for sure, you ha e everything else in place. | |

| Andy Forrest can do ecutek yea but its about 500 notes I think... A simtek will cost double that so it would be pointless.. If you want a noticeable difference you need to have a noticeable chunk taken out of your bank account.. It maybe a cheaper option to sell your existing car and buy one that's modded already | |
