Before doing mods, have you done the usual checks on the PCV, DV and HPFP cam follower? I can send you links to all the how-to guides if you need them.

ECU remap from a good tuner (R-Tech highly recommended on here). Easy 30bhp without doing anything! A panel filter in the air box will get you a smoother power curve and a few extra horses too.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
