Bigger injectors are not required. What sort of power increase do you want?

All down to how much power you want an how much your looking at spending.

Remap is a good way rather than the chip.
manifold, panel filter, lightened flywheel, better turbo, injectors (dependant on power you want) etc etc etc.

So many different things but gets a bit pricey!

i started with the simple things like a air filter an front mount.

But alot of people on here moan about front mounts untill above a certain power tho. But i'd say get one, improves the look of your car aswell!

That will buy an air filter, no modes will give you any increase with £500. as you already have the exhaust.
That will buy you a Vf34 second hand, or £550 direct from japan, then 3 port boost, fuel pump to be safe, remap will see 300 bhp ish.

getting a turbo means spending too much tho, may as well have the small buits done first
For instance, exhaust, front mount, filter.
Then go for the turbo, ecotek etc on the second lot.

He already as a full decat, filter. O and lose the dump valve, these cause more probs long run.
