Ok i was just being silly really i knew what you meant  :smiley:

Lightened flywheel
some kind of crazy cam set up
a decent enclosed induction with cold air feed
a decent exhaust with sports cat
rolling road set-up not sure if you can remap them or you will have to get a chip done

But to be honest all that for about £500 and you will only gain about 15-25hp if your lucky. Try doing a search for 8v mods and see what that brings up mate tbh for the lack of gains its usually easier/cheaper to buy a faster version or conversion even supercharge or turbo isn't very exciting on the 8v  :sad: Maybe be able to pick up a g60 engine if your lucky but there a pain in the ass and cost a fortune to keep servicing the supercharger  :sad: good luck keep it updated if you decide to make a build thread  :smiley:
