Default Mk5 Xr3i Cab 105PS - £1000 To Spend On Engine

I've got a 1.8 Zetec 105PS mk5 Escort Cabriolet that i'm looking to get a bit more punch out of rather than buying a new car.

Its already got a K&N filter on it.

I've got £1000 to spend on engine mods, what do you recommend for the most bang for my bucks? Turbo conversion would be great, but I'm guessing that would be over budget.

id go for a set of cams from a 130 ps model along with the throttle body and ecu, also a 4-1 manifold from TE power services in york and a magnex or a mongoose, or you could just shot a 2.0 zetec in it and have an instant 136ps
