Hi All, what are the best (easy to do) mods to increase power on a 1.8 executive, really getting Pi**ed off at how under powered it is!

You are very limited on the 1.8 to increase power i.e. modify airbox / upgraded air filter. May gain about 10hp

Fit a dtuk pedal box. It will give you sharper throttle response so will appear faster.
