first of welcome;)
first thing you could do is put a K&N 57i kit on with a good cold air feed pipe,
as you already have the gsi backbox on fit a remus centre section from LMF cost is around £70 with p+p, a good remap will see around 5bhp, you could also fit a super charger if you have a spare 2.5-3k or a nitrous kit for between £300-500. its all down to what you want and how much money you have
hope this helps:)

dont bother with an induction kit waste of time(sorry bullet) a good panel filter and a modified air box will do the job just fine

welcome aboard

they are only a waste of time if you havent got a heat shield and a good cold air feed which i have got both on my v6 and its runs great,

panel filters are around £40 and fit in the oe airbox and take about 60 secs to change

Personally wouldnt expect to see much if any gains on a stock engine with only airbox mods, best you'll see is a nice induction roar..

Imo sell it and buy a faster car if you want real gains for less outlay :cool:

Or as said already very mild mods to exhaust and induction to improve the engine note under acceleration...

your best bet imo is to speak to a reputable specialist (courtney/regal) they should be able to point you down the right route.

i agree with whitebullet an induction kit is better if u can get cold air direct to the filter and a cheap and effective mod is a short shift , will improve accelaration without bhp
