Default Focus power increase - cheapest option

So I've had a standard mk1 1.8 petrol focus for about 7 years.

I'm thinking of doing a power increase and want some ideas on the cheapest way to do it.

The 1.8 zetec will likely be giving 100bhp if lucky after 130K miles..

I'm looking to get power somewhere between 150 and 200hp.

Not looking for mega power, just a good usable power figure for daily driving.

This is a mini project specific to the car that I want to carry out.. and I'm not looking to buy another car to replace it.

So, what's the cheapest way to get to that power figure?

Obvious replacements would be:

Complete exhaust
Fuel pump
Management
Clutch

But as for the engine options and whether NA or FI..

Over to you lot... And remember, most cost effective answers for the bhp required please...

Cheers...
