   Ok so am kinda a novice with performance.. any ideas what the best way to gain BHP will be on a saxo mk1 vts?!
   
   Currently Running On:
   15" WolfRace Alloys
   Manifold Back Straight-Through S/S
   57i K&N Induction Kit
   
   (Been Looking At 4-2-1 Manifolds)
   Any Other Options That Will Have A Noticable Gain In BHP? (Preferably Cheapish) lol!

   Ahh if it's just the standard throttle body then there's no point at all,, they wouldn't fit your VTS anyway,, remap and cams for a VTS is about 400+ but gives good gains

   and other cheaper options you can think of that will giv a noticible increase not gotta be for bhp gain but increas in acceleration & torque?

    You'll get more gains with a decent suspension set-up.

    one of our customers got a 13bhp gain using a supersprint manifold and the race exhaust system on his VTR. Wasn't the budget option for the car but got results. Certainly before looking at engine work I'd sort out the exhaust side.

    Thats a nice increase iv got a straight through s/s from company called cybox.. hadnt really heard of them before but was a cheap option.. any cheap ideas for 4-2-1 manifold? what sorrt of increase you think i be looking at after adding a 4-2-1 with my current system in comparison 2 standard 120bhp?
