   You could put a gti-6 lump in from the 306 which has been done but not many about. IIRC about 167bhp standard
   
   Weight loss is free and a car start to make your car feel quicker.
   Lose the headlining, back seats, door cards, sound deadening (behind dash also), carpet, underlay...and if you want to go all out like a member on here cut the passenger side of the dash out . Remember keep anything you strip out as the next owner may want them and is easier to sell a car with a full interior. Also you need to have door cards etc fitted to go out on track.
   
   Cams
   4-2-1 manifold
   Decat
   saxsport / kam racing system
   Good induction kit (raceland, BMC)
   Re-map
   
   Then maybe;
   head work
   Lightened and balanced flywheel
   Fast road clutch
   
   (you can also use a different gearbox with shorter ratio’s. 1.1 or 1.4XSI boxes are used alot, the 106 S1 rallye box is a good option but hard to come across)
   After all that has been done if your budget allows look into;
   Throttle bodies
   Boost. If you are running high boost you will need forged internals
   
   Or maybe look into getting a 1800 stroker engine and working with that?
   
   Don't forget though that when modifying an engine and the cars performance speed wise
   Please please please also upgrade your brakes and suspension set up
   
   That is imo MORE important than how fast your car is or your BHP figures. A well spec'd car with crap suspension and brakes is not better than a standard car
   
   To get the best from all mods make sure they are all set up correctly
   
   Brakes to look into will depend how high spec the car is
   306 GTI-6 set up
   wilwood 4pots
   406 coupe bermbos.
   Hispec 4pots
   Make sure you also choose a good set of pads to go with it. Kam racing have good pads on there site. e.g mintex 1144 pads.
   Good brake fluid
   Braided lines
   
   Suspension;
   B6 dampers are uprated at o/e length
   B8 dampers are uprated like the B6 but shortened.
   Grp N dampers are hard as nails
   
   The Peugeot Gti sprintline kit comes with the B8 shocks
   The Saxo sprintline comes with Group N fronts and B8 rears.
   The Group N kit comes with Group Ns front and rear
   
   Use 106GTi 24mm rear bars

   Money is no object mmmm..
   
   Turbo or supercharge is/would be the only way to keep up with an evo of that power, but you'll have to spend alot of money (although you said moneys no object)
   
   There are a few companies on here GMC up north & ATspeed down south that have done quite a few turbo or supercharge builds! A guy on 106oc & possibly on here recently got 502hp (at the fly) out of a 106 gti with Atspeed, but he has spent silly amounts of money 20k+

   Only way really is a engine conversion a Type r engine would see you 200hp plus turbo cams ect could see you running over 300hp.
