A turbo kit would probably have the best bhp/£.

Madmole seemed to have good results having his chip burned for the car's mods. Perhaps you should look into that to take full advantage of your mods.

Being a little more realistic then just saying slap a turbo on it (since they make it sound as easy as changing plugs), I would look more into headwork, perhaps bigger valves and camshafts. Personally I would want those if I was planning on a turbo anyway.

BTW, how do you like the Lockwood dials that you have? How is their build quality? Would you buy them again?

Well, it'll probably go faster if you take off the spoiler and body kit.
