Reliable power
I'm thinking of doing a few mods to the S that will give me more power but want to keep it reliable as well as it being stock looking from the outside. I also dont want to do anything that will require switching things back at MOT time etc.
I'd ideally like the car to have something in the region of around 300-350hp coupled with more low end torque.
This isnt something I've ever done before so would want a professional performance tuner to handle; someone with a good reputation.
I'm based around the Leeds/Bradford area in West Yorkshire; Anyone on here have any suggestions.
I'd be wanting to use the car for track driving also so arent solely interested in straight line speed here.

OK; So; SC or Turbo? Pro's/Cons and general thoughts
and is there anyone in my area that has a good professional reputation or would I need to travel further to have this done.
What kind of power gains can be had from intake/exhaust type mods by comparison?

Just going on information picked up from other threads, SC'ing is the way to go.
I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a readily available turbo produced for the right hand drive S, so it's very pricey.
Now, over to the experts....
