no mate things like that will only help if 1. your pump is knackered. 2. you need the extra fuel flow after a map or bigger injectors/turbo

I'm sure we've been over this before young man.

1- exhaust system (preferably de-cat but sports cat would be fine)
2- walbro/HRC 255 fuel pump
3- decent panel filter
4- remap by one of the known guys

Will see a healthy increase in power (maybe in the region of 280) but more importantly will dramatically transform the drivability.

If you want to help it a bit more then a bigger top mount intercooler won't hurt along with some fresh plugs and a good service..

Another thing worth thinking about, by adding modifications to a car without having the fueling etc adjusted (ie mapping) it can sometimes actually lose power. Now with just 218 bhp I should think your already struggling to keep up with modern traffic so the last thing you want to do is lose anymore ......lol.....

Save up and get it mapped, that's the best possible mod

The mods won't add anything to the car standard but once it's mapped it would help.

Here's the best bit of advice you'll get.

Buy all the bolt on goodies you want and store them away in your garage/shed/bedroom or wherever else you keep stuff. Take your time, save up and buy the best bits you can as rushing and buying cheap crap will be a mistake.
When you've got all the bits you want you'll need to save some £££ again, this time for the mapping. It's expensive but worth every penny. Once you've saved enough then call one of the many experienced mappers and book a date.
A couple of days before your mapping date you can bolt on all your goodies.
Get the car mapped and enjoy your new car.
