Default More Power?

Hi guys I recently bought a 2.0 twin cam Ghia Auto Sapphire its well tidy and I am well happy with it but was wondering what I can do to give it some more guts. I am on a limited budget with 2 young children and not much knowledge on the tech side. She has done 133k and runs beautifully with previous owner having her for 8 years, undersealed every 2 years and pretty much garaged all the time. Any advice you guys have is very welcome as this is a whole new world to me! Cheers!

first thing i would buy is a free flow air filter this combind with a chip can give upto 12 bhp you can buy the cone air filter from motorworld for £31 theres lots more you can do but thats going into performance exhausts / cams / head work depends how far you wanna go really
