Cheapest way to get 300bhp is to get a beach buggy turbos k300 and supporting mods.
I say "cheapest" the turbo will still cost £750 to be hybridised!

Depending what current mods you have your talking £2k - £4k to get 300bhp

I can imagine the costs to get 300 could run away.  The cars mint and runs perfect so worth keeping and a lot of thought needs putting into more mods, it's got a few mods already, r32 clutch, miltek, stage 2 inlet and so on. Will take it too them and see what they say. Worth getting idea of costs and performance increase.
