I did the same type of thing -
got a Scoobysport c/section off here £50
got a Scoobysport b/box, again, off here £150
ITG panel filter
Looked then at a downpipe for about £200...
hmmm, by my reckoning, you're looking at about £450!!!!
Bargain!
Next step after that, would be looking at different ECUs and then engine remaps etc...
Your best bet is to look in the For Sale section, get a backbox (loadsa choice - Prodrive, WRSport, Magnex, Mongoose, Blitz etc), match up a centre section, then match up the Downpipe. Also look at a panel filter (as opposed to induction - just IMHO!!!!
)
Hope this helps

A good downpipe with no cat and decent design for the wastegate, and a centre section with a free flow cat(sports type) and a good back box will do a lot for your performance and is not too difficult to install. 3 inch diameter right through. Gets through the MOT emissions test too. Boost gauge,Knocklink, AFR indicator, and Dawes could be added later.

Dawes, turn up to full and cross your fingers!
But seriously a dawes for £40 and a boost gauge would get you a semi-decent increase and if you get a knocklink as well you can run it right on the edge

Decat is a safer option than Dawes
How about remove Centre Cat - Approx £80
Fit TSL Firestorm Back Box - £300
Still legal
Total £380
You'll notice a difference with that. This tends to be a standard first time mod. I though £1200 was quite good

Just remember 'Cheep' mods have on more than one occaision on here caused Det and then engine rebuild £5K
The risk is yours
What I have suggested will free the system up but won't need a remap on the ecu
