You'd gain about 40bhp with some titan rollerbarrel throttle bodies , no butterfly so no restriction , well an exhaust and air filter will help as well

full exhaust/manifold & filter will see around 170bhp, custom remap can see this at 180, add cams for 190+, cosworth inlet for 200.

we do loads of these at Jamsport, they all seem a good bunch who drive them aswell

A simple filter and exhaust will add about 15bhp as the standard airbox is very restrictive. Just make sure you don't fit sealed induction kit with an air feed that's very low to the ground. They can and do suck up water if you drive through a deep puddle and knacker the engine.

As GUZZLER said. Or you can supercharge it too if you wish to have a little rocket.

supercharging is good value for money, under 4k for the 2.5 kit & 300bhp
