First thing - do I need to do anything with the dump valve in maintenance terms? I've heard some people have oiled it etc to keep it moving correctly. :-?

More importantly - is there anything else that can be done (within reason) to give the bug a bit more go? Preferably at little cost to ;D

I don't want to get to huge turbo conversions/engine swaps/mass blueprinting and porting etc. I don't have the cash right now and if I want 'that' much power I'll buy a powerful car :D

But I'd quite like to know what the next steps may be if I get bored.... What's everyone else done to theirs?

Mine has a remap/Jabba tune
AMD (i think) dump valve
Samco hoses
Boost controller under the dash
Green thingy panel filter

Jabba'd @ 228.

Cheers peoples...

Charlies Cat Back cost us £270 fitted and it sounds the busness not to max power but you know it's there and it does make a difference :)
