You ALWAYS need another 50 bhp, whatever you've already got 
Turbo or NOS might be the answer.

it just seems a shame to ditch the standard injection & ecu.
But i guess a megasquirt setup on throttle bodies would get me maybe 20-30hp more!!!

You should have fitted a standard turbo motor to start with (VW, Nissan, Opel or Volvo T4)
Then another 30% or more is just a short Dyno session and maybe a new set of injectors away.
And it will be much more driveable (and economical on fuel when cruising) than a n/a motor with rumpety rumpety cams etc that anyway puts out less
power than the standard turbo motor did.

Loose weight in the car, it's FREE!! Then you will go quicker!
Or go on a diet if like me you're a fat bu**er

Not from someone who only registered a week and a half ago.

overweight's a rumour hey???
there is only one reason why people build lightweight cars!!! You notice I went as far as cutting even the last couple of threads off all my
suspension bolts, to make it as lightweight as possible!! So Yes, I am whats more commonly known in my family as a FB, or after a large meal a BFB, or
when someone is annoyed at me a BUFB!!!

If the truth be known , far too many of the BEC fraternity are relying on a trade off of Lbs against HP.
I need to lose 3 stone I reckon that would be equal to a 40hp upgrade

We're not all fat! I'm just tall and weigh 14 st 6 lb. I could lose weight, but I'd look stupidly skinny. And I couldn't eat
any pies.

you wouldn't be as tall Si if you took those stupid high-heels off!!!
I'm not tall and still weigh around 15 and a half stone so I can't comment, but ReMan, you are virtually spot on, losing three stone
(yourself or from the car!) would be equivallant to roughly a 40ho increase!!!

Bloody hell! If I got down to a normal-ish weight I could forget about the turbo!
100bhp or pies .... hmmm that's a tough one

So Steve does that mean you cutting the threads off your bolts mean, i dont need to diet as your half a stone heavier than me, great. That means i can
have a megga mixed grill instead of a mixed grill on Sunday day.

Why not use thinner bolts
