    Just start with the basics pal. Airfilter (BMC/PiperX), then work on f/b exhaust. Is this your first car?

    fb = fanimold back? lol
    
    erm i think it could have been c/b but hit the f button indstead maybe
    but ive not heard that one before either, if it is one
    
    but in relation to the thread, if your a newbie to this, as mentioned above, start with basics, like airfilter, take a look at kamracing, they have a good range, may give you an idea of what sort of inductions are about, erm then exhaust, can be either catback, or decat, also a uprated manifold would go nicely with this too
    
    then from there it starts to get expensive mate

    erm yer lol
    
    well for a decent manifold and exhaust your probs looking at around 500 i think, depending on what makes etc you go with
    
    then to cam the vtr inc a remap, your probs looking at around 1k, and if your going to get them fitted by some one, you should expect around 1200+
    
    then after that your looking at bodies, turbo or supercharger
    bodies would cost around 4-5k i think for a decent set up
    and for turbo or supercharger i am unsure but i would suspect it be around 8k maybe more, but i havnt really looked at them much
    
    so erm yer think you may need to start saving lol

    if its your first car then i would be more concerned about insurance.
    
    If you have a VTR then i'm guessing its sky high at the moment, many insurance companies will simply refuse to insure you if you modify the car.
    
    I would look at a decent enclosed induction and exhaust/manifold to start off with.
    
    i also hope your doing brake and suspension if your looking at cams etc as it will need to handle the extra power

They will be happy to give you a engine with so much power that it will get fuel starvation when you plant your foot ass all the fuel will be pushed to the back of the tank. Then they can sell you a baffled sump and all the rest to go with it. Saxos that can run rings round Ferraris, Great fun
