   Depends on why you want the power from it and what your budget is. An engine is an engine you can always withdraw more power from it in standard form.

   I would love to do that
   I can get a vts engine gearbox unlocked and loom for £150
   Only problem is I just passed my test 2 weeks on Wednesday and my insurance is already killing me

   Get a few years experience and no claims under your belt and put some money aside at the same time.

    The most cost effective way is you either put a bigger engine in or sell it and get a VTR/VTS.
    
    Induction kit or exhaust is going to give so little gains it won't be worthit.

    Straight though de-cat and induction kit with a re-tuned air fuel mixture had give me noticeable gains tbh
