lol.... i was defending you haha.

I would suggest the above mod: inlet manifold match. Good gains and not too expensive. Not really sure what else you could play with while it is out though.

try disconnecting the battery for 30mins, lol, ther are about 100 threads on it

Get it lightened,balanced and blueprinted,It will rev better and last longer

8-15 bhp for £150 odd, that certainly is good value.

Ben at Angleworks is highly recommended for doing Inlet Matching as his CNC process produces consistant results, can't comment on others.

defo BenR for the inlets , mine done last week and i'm happy for the work that was done , i wouldn't say it was amazing but defo worth the trip down there . dont expect warp speed but he shows what you get and how it compares to your existing inlet :approve:

A cams package, and ecu reflash for 2000 can get you close to 200bhp

Throttle bodies for around 4000 can get you 210bhp

Turbo for 6000+ can get you 250bhp+

Or vag engine, but would cost a hell of alot due to no one selling them. This would get you 400bhp. This is best option due to different drivetrain. The clio gearbox and clutch arent upto much.

Another thing. If you want it for the fun factor, to feel the kick in your back. Dont bother chasing a few bhp. I regret spending my money doing that. You can be quicker than a cup in a 172 ff with a chip, but it's not satisfying.
