had the CDA on my TS too, sound was absolutely fantastic, in my opinion only enhanced the TS sound. its now on my MG and sounds as good as ever, that said the MG is pretty much race tuned :O

Have a look into the CDA kit, im sure it gives more than 1bhp peak but as many will tell you the peak figure is meaningless if you have gained 10bhp midrange. this is what transforms the car.

Depending on your budget you could also look at fitting some hot cams, porting the head, exhaust manifold and stainless catback system. decat if you want to but on some cars a decat will increase noise a lot. then you want to look at getting a live remap done. your a bit far away from newcastle so i cant recommend any garages in your area! all this and you should clear 180bhp but with much improved throttle response and more power thruout the rev range.
