Welcome.
Same as any other internal combustion engine.
There is loads of threads in the engine section if you have a look and there is also a search box in the top right corner if every page.
The flavour of the month is turbo or supercharging for around 2 - 3.5k on average or going down the naturally aspirated route with larier cams and throttle bodies which will be of a similar cost.
If you can't do the work yourself or have a hand from a mate then the costs are likely going to scare you off in comparison to some other French metal cans.

Welcome!
As Morgan has said above, have a search and read through some of the project threads. Fair few lads who have gone down the FI route recently

The 172/182 are very expensive to get power out of since Renault did quite a good job in the first place with what is essentially a modified 1.8L block. Most were also down on power (165 BHP instead of 172 PS) from the factory.
Either spend serious money: £500 to make the factory quoted 172 PS, maybe an extra £1200 (cams) on top of that for 180, another £1500 (RS2 intake manifold) on top of that for 190 or (instead of RS2) £2000 (?) for throttle bodies for a pretty solid 195 BHP? Oh or spend £3000 on a low pressure turbo for 230 BHP.
Or forget pub bragging rights and just keep it well serviced with a panel filter in standard airbox.
RS Tuner (buy the box (£100), buy a license (£40 I can't remember?), generic remap on your drive, sell the box on here to get £100 back) is really popular. It will gain 1 or 2 BHP but more importantly improve torque particularly low down so it will feel much more lively on the road.
