Depends what kind of spec you want to work towards. I made an air2air intercooler kit for mine and fitted a Group A K&N with some custom hoses...

Internal wastegate, but still gave a decent chatter and average power gains. Mine had the usual bits expected and made a decent 306bhp and 358lb/ft @ 21psi

Look around Aberdeen, that's where my old car is now

thought removing the recirc valve or dump valve to give 'chatter would
effect the MAF sensor?? possibly fook it up. ?
