   Depends on your definition of the term 'quick'
   
   For a few extra bhp a full exaust and decat will work, plus a decent enclosed induction kit
   This will probably cost £500 (ish) but wont give you much more power
   
   You need to spend $$$ to get decent amounts more power
   
   What is your budget as this will ditcate what you can do

   A vts should be 'quick' as standard anyway lol
   
   If you are handy with a spanner a turbo conversion could work out cheap and give good bang for buck

    Sorry i was supposed to say quicker it goes well as it is. I was thinking manifold and straight through system just bolt on mods as not after crazy power then maybe chip and remap.
    
    What good systems on there that bolt on well with no issues.
    Also what make manifold?
    
    Am i better off just fitting a performance panel filter rather than an induction kit?

    You got it mate.
    
    Supersprint mani
    Supersprint/kam racing exhaust
    BMC/CDA or panel filter (i'd go panel filter personally as i have bmc and very expensive)
    Predator ECU c.£500 but you can have free maps for it and can run what you like cams/tb's/supercharger/turbo
