-t28 turbo hybrid

-205 1.9 git cams

- less restrictive air filter

- more efficent intercooler

-free flow exhaust system

-de-cat

-port & polish head

-remap

next stage would be

-forged internals (and crank)

- the 2.1 diesel crank shaft ( this will you un displacement from 2.0l to 2.1 but please research before hand as im not sure what model engine you need the crank out of)

-dp manifolds for better flow

-t28 or t3 turbo

-aftermarket ecu such a VEMS or megasquirts

and if you want big power all the above and stick a s16 or gti-6 head on turning it into a 16v ( basically ul have made a T16 engine good for over 300bhp)

The most cost effective performance mod for these cars is to sell the car and get a V6 off ebay
