Default 180 BHP HELP!!!!

Guys,

looking for a bit of help, my S2 RST is running 150BHP at the wheels, and is standard apart from a large custom AVA intercooler and Mongoose zorst. I have a budget of around £1200 (Xmas pressie from the missus ) to spend on her, and am wondering the best way to go about getting 180-190 BHP out of her. Not the most mechanically minded yet, but know a thing or two, just wondered what the best combination would be for the price range.

Panel filter, decent chip & setup?

im pretty new to the cvh tuning, but thats what i think will be suggested.

Theres a company in liverpool, 350quid for a chip fitted & the car setup, claims of 185bhp, includes a -31 actuator aswell.

bigger turbo,newman cam and chip and set up,thats about your 1200 quid spent mate,but should see close to 180@wheels
i think your car may be chipped anyway as to make 150 @ wheels you would need more than std boost to make it or it would overboost
best give alan or colin a phone@ava and ask them there advice,tell them youve got 1200 and what the best way to go about gettin as much power for that money
if its already chipped i would just get st3 t3 and newman cam,then could add big valve head at a later date
