how about a apexi ecu+apexi bleed valve if needed on your car i aint sure (£600 with valve) fuel pump (£100) decat (£180) exhaust (£400) fitting and set up £400

total £1730 (u will need to look up all these prices, i recomend u start with ebay for the ecu) and you will defo get atleast 15bhp more and the apexi ecu if fully remapable so if you ever wanted to do a few more mods the engine could be tuned to suit

rc developments dp motorsport and thor racing will help u out with apexi gear also

If it's an 01 I'm guessing it's just about out of warranty, with no interest (not at the new prices ) in extending it, so the world's your oyster. PPP is great, but it can be bettered for less money if the warranty is no longer an issue. Decat with a remap will be a good start, maybe include one hi-flow sports cat if you're worried about MOT/roadside tests. Speak to the likes of TSL/Scoobyclinic/Powerstation/Prosport/RedLine for quality advise. Don't forget, you may need better brakes/suspension to cope with the extra power, and your insurance company won't be happy
