   sorry sadly we have a few warriors of le keyboard who like to just post search all the time.
   
   what engine are you running.
   
   there is no cheap way to power really, each individual mod will add small increments, when people change the camshaft or camshafts on an NA engine they get the biggest jump, obviously adding a turbo or supercharger on will do so to

   How much cash do you have and how reliable and economical does it have to be?

   Its never going to be cheap to get a decent ammount off bhp out of a saxo engine. But i recomend,
   
   Manifold
   Enclosed Induction Kit
   Full exaust system including De-cat
   Regular services
   
   The above for a decent set up will cost you bout 500 pounds

    I remember at a car show being told that my race car was shit because it didn't have a turbo Basically the boy racers know nothing and its not worth competing with them as they base their tuning on Fast and Furious or Grand Tourismo
    
    If its BHP or Torque per tonne that you improve then you just strip out all the un nessesary items in the car and make it lighter. Seats, spare wheel, carpet, sound deadening, stereo, fat friends, the heater matrix etc etc etc
    
    Like your creature comforts? then best to look at engine and suspension / tyre mods.
    
    The suspension keeps you on the road. allows you to carry speed on the bends and makes you overall faster. Doesn't gain you bragging rights in the hood though homie
    
    The engine mods give you extra oomph. Cheaper gains can be had from a manifold / enclosed induction / full exhaust system etc.. after that its gets more costly but this is where the big gains are had.. cams & remap or ITBs, headwork, etc etc
