    The bee_r limiter shouldn't be anywhere near the top of your list IMO.

    Tuning parts for the N/A are slim enough but get yourself a good manifold and exhaust system and a decent intake and thats as much as you'll benifit without spending huge money.

    It would be cheaper to fit a GTE engine from either a supra(3.0) or soarer/chaser etc(2.5) then to tune the N/A to get any meaningfull gains.

    SupraMans is also an N/A but he's looking into turbo charging it AFAIK, Armin Tazmin (name ain't spelled correctly but I'm sure he'll be along soon) drives a TT version

    Most are got as toys (awesome toys, not slaggin them) and not daily drivers so it probably won't affect them quite as badly as you may think.

    Did i hear my name, Ive a NA love them to bits and always have and will, They will always have the cult status. Sadly mine will have to go soon, its not been driven for about 3 months and it deserves to go to a good home.

    With regards to power upgrads, dont really know. The only thing i looked at was a single turbo but it don't make sense. Id sooner go and but a UKDM twiny, with the proper brakes and kit. If you hold off you will come across a UKDM CAR at value
