Default More Power!!!

Hi guys, just bought my ERST about 2 weeks ago. But i already want more power. Ive listed sum of the parts it has:

mahle .5 oversized low compression pistons
kent cam and vernier pulley
felpro head gasket
bayjoo chipped ecu (holding 16 psi)
double capacity pace intercooler
Green cotton air filter
bleed valve
stage 1 turbo
stage one organic clutch

However, its only running a stardard gearbox. They guy i bought it off sed it can be run at about 19 -20 psi.

what will i need to do for more power? and will it be pricey? :S

cheers.

Throw the Felpro HG in the bin they are fucking useless. Get a genuine Ford item on the car with new headbolts.

Big capacity intercooler is a must before hunting for any more power. The Pace item just can't deliver the goods.

When the gearbox throws the towel in you'll want to contact this guy www.gearboxman.co.uk . His is the only gearbox I've had that's lasted more than 12 months

The thing which make me laugh is most people spend all the money and making a car faster and looking better but forget to maintain it which is the most import thing to do to a car last with out it breaking down all the time I had my s2 for 8 months now and it has not let me down once which is a good thing !!!

Another thing mate you got to get the power down to the wheels so spending abit of cash on a wicked gearbox and clutch would come in handy and anything else that could help with traction!
