   what car do you have? air filter doesn't affect mpg, constantly flooring it will. You have many options from minor breathing mods to full on throttle bodies or turbo/supercharging. Have a little search aof the engine section for ideas mate.

   basic breathing mods is the place to start - induction kit, maniold and full exhaust system with decat (cat will have to back on for MOT). Or you could save for a vts/vts engine conversion/faster car.

   completely. avoid. stick to what i've said above, spend a while looking through old threads in the engine section for ideas/hints and tips

   induction kit like sean said, alot of people first mods add little performace make your car sound nice depending on the one you get, aim for enclosed raceland with green filter this depends on budget tho bud

   induction kits are a waste of money IMO. lets face it any gains you get will be minimal and your much better spening your money on full exhaust system, manifold etc.
   
   Also the cheapest mod is to stip to the car out. less weight is the way forward

    induction kits are not fully pointless though
    but a good panel filter can do a similar job
    
    breathing mods are a good place to start though
    (they make it sound nice too lol)
