Really depends on your choice and wallet.
There's much more knowledgable folks on here, but as I recall you have 3 options for big power gains...

1)Throttle bodies combined with other NA Tuning such as uprated cams, lightened flywheel and pulleys.

2)Turbocharger plus the essential head work/pistons etc.

3)Supercharger plus the previously mentioned NA Tuning.

Like I said, its your choice and wallet, obviously NOS can be used but I know little about it.

£1800 should easily see throttle bodies bought and fitted. With that you're lookin at around 165bhp and if I remember correctly a slightly higher torque figure.

If you don't intend to use the power all the time, perhaps NOS is a better and cheaper option? I'm not sure but a 25 shot should be safe with the standard internals, maybe 50? Cost of that fitted is probably £600-800?ousing

Pretty sure that Turbo/Supercharging will cost more.
